About
A fast, rule‑based, high‑risk strategy that rotates daily among leveraged tech, VIX, inverse funds, and defensive bonds/sectors based on simple “hot/cold” and trend checks, with KMLM as a trend‑following diversifier and fallback.
Each day the rules pick a lane:
- If stocks look very “hot” (simple momentum scores say they’re stretched), buy volatility (UVXY/VIXY) expecting a pullback.
- If trends are up, ride tech with 3x funds (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, SPXL).
- If trends weaken, use inverse funds (rise when markets fall) or hide in bonds/defensive sectors (BSV, TLT, XLP, XLV, XLU).
- KMLM is a trend‑following diversifier/regime switch.
Out-of-sample, this rule-based strategy delivers about 96% annualized returns with a 4.19 Calmar and 1.63 Sharpe, outperforming the S&P 500. It uses regime-switching across leveraged tech, volatility, inverses, and KMLM for adaptive growth.
