About
A daily tactical switch: ride 3× Emerging Markets up (EDC) or down (EDZ) using trend and a short‑term “temperature” score (RSI). If unclear, park in one defensive bond/sector ETF that currently looks least hot.
This is a daily, rules-based “risk switch.” It watches Emerging Markets (EEM) and some market thermometers. If EM is in a long uptrend and recently sold off (low 0–100 momentum score called RSI), it buys a 3× EM fund (EDC). If EM looks overheated or trends turn down, it uses the 3× inverse (EDZ). When signals are mixed, it splits or moves to one “safe” pick—short/long US bonds (BSV, TLT, LQD, VBF) or defensive stocks (XLP, UGE)—choosing the one that looks least hot (lowest short‑term RSI).
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers superior risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P 500: Sharpe ~1.94 vs 0.58, Calmar ~4.36, with EM-leverage upside and negative beta. Higher drawdowns accompany the upside.
