About
A rules‑based portfolio that rotates among S&P 500, four US sectors, and long‑term Treasuries, with a safety net of T‑bills, staples, and gold. It uses moving averages, RSI, and volatility to lean into strength and cut risk in weak markets.
Split the portfolio: 15% each to XLF (financials), XLK (tech), XLE (energy), XLU (utilities), and 40% to TLT (long US Treasuries).
Each sector: own it only if its 5‑day average is above its 50‑day; otherwise use “Super SPY”: if SPY is above its 200‑day average, own SPY; if not and QQQ’s RSI‑10 >30, hold 50% BIL (T‑bills) + 50% of XLP (staples) and GLD (gold) tilted to the steadier one; otherwise hold XLK.
TLT sleeve flips between TLT and Super SPY using long‑term averages and RSI.
RSI is a 0–100 gauge of recent strength; inverse‑vol just favors the steadier asset.
Out-of-sample edge: ~22.9% annual return vs 20.3% for the S&P 500, higher risk-adjusted Sharpe (~1.32 vs 1.14), and smaller drawdowns (~12.2% vs 18.8%). A diversified, rules-based rotation designed to outperform and protect.
