About
A rule-based strategy that goes aggressively into leveraged U.S. stocks when market fear cools, shifts to short-term Treasury bonds when conditions are uncertain, and buys the regular S&P 500 after a sharp 5-day drop.
This strategy watches UVXY, a fund that tends to jump when investors are scared. If that fear gauge has been cooling off recently, it buys UPRO, a fund that aims to move about 3 times as much as the S&P 500 each day.
If fear is not cooling off, it checks whether SPY (the regular S&P 500 fund) has fallen more than 2% over the last 5 days. If SPY has not fallen that much, it hides in SHY, a short-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. If SPY has fallen more than 2%, it buys SPY instead.
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims to outperform the S&P 500: ~45.9% annualized return vs 21.9%, Sharpe ~1.35, Calmar ~1.56, higher drawdown (~29% vs ~19%). It leverages when fear fades and shifts to bonds on uncertainty.
