About
A daily market-timing strategy: panic hedge when stocks look overheated, aggressive tech rebound bet when stocks look washed out, otherwise own the 5 least volatile sector/defensive funds.
Each day, the strategy looks at SPY, a fund that tracks the S&P 500 and acts like a “market thermometer.”
If the market has jumped too far too fast, it moves into UVXY, a fund that usually rises when fear spikes.
If the market has fallen too far too fast, it buys TQQQ, a turbo-charged fund that bets on a rebound in big tech-heavy stocks.
Otherwise, it spreads money equally across the 5 calmest funds from a menu of sectors plus bonds, gold, and the U.S. dollar.
Out-of-sample edge: ~34.4% annualized returns vs ~21.7% for the S&P, strong risk-adjusted Calmar ~1.48, and beta ~0.82. Dynamic hedges plus a 5-asset low-volatility core offer upside with diversification—though drawdowns can be higher in stress.
