About
A Dragon-inspired, regime-rotating, multi-asset strategy using ETFs (including levered ones) to balance growth, safety, commodities, and volatility hedges across five sleeve themes.
The strategy mixes five asset classes (growth, defensives, fiat-like assets, commodities, volatility hedges) and uses ETF building blocks (SPY, QQQ, UVXY, GLD, TLT, DBC, UUP, etc.). It runs through rule-based signals to decide which sleeves to own. When volatility hedging is signaled, it may buy UVXY; in growth regimes it tilts toward levered stock bets (UPRO, TQQQ, SOXL, SSO); in risk-off regimes it shifts to gold, Treasuries, or dollar assets. Signals rely on momentum and price trends over short (10–20 days) and longer (60–120 days) windows, with occasional top/bottom screening to pick the strongest performers. Weights are adjusted within a 2% corridor; rebalancing is limited, keeping risk in check while rotating among the chosen sleeves. The system aims to perform well in both buoyant markets and downturns by balancing five asset classes, using leverage sparingly and within defined rules. It’s complex and uses leverage, so costs and risks are higher than plain-vanilla ETFs.
Out-of-sample: Dragon regime-rotator outperforms the S&P—higher risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe 1.76 vs 1.41), lower drawdown (14.8% vs 18.8%), positive alpha, and beta ~0.8. Diversified, leverage-aware growth with downside protection.
