About
A daily momentum strategy that flips between leveraged bull and inverse ETFs by theme. It gauges short‑term market “heat” (RSI) using stocks vs bonds, then owns the six strongest themes. Very aggressive; designed for fast swings, not buy‑and‑hold.
Each day it looks at 11 themes (tech, small caps, banks, real estate, biotech, gold miners, emerging mkts, high‑beta, Nasdaq). For each theme it picks the 2x/3x bull or the inverse ETF using short‑term “heat” scores (RSI: 0–100) of stocks vs bonds (SPY, IEF, IWM, TMF).
Then it owns the 6 best‑performing themes equally.
Diversified, rules-based momentum across 11 themes with daily rebalancing to capture rapid swings. OOS return ~18.5% vs SPY ~21.4%; but drawdowns ~46%. A high-risk, alpha-seeking satellite to the S&P 500 for diversification.
