About
A simple trend-following momentum plan: when the market is healthy, equally own the 4 recent winners from a tech/AI/semis/crypto-heavy list. When it’s weak, rotate to bonds; if bonds aren’t strong, hold gold and silver. Rebalanced daily.
Daily check:
• If the broad U.S. market (VTI) is above its 30-day average, go "risk-on": equally buy the 4 strongest performers over ~1 month from a list tilted to big-tech/chips (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMD, TSLA), AI (PLTR), crypto ETPs (BTC, ETH), and related ETFs (SMH, ROBO, URNM, SIL, etc.).
• If VTI is below its average, go "risk-off": hold bonds (BND) if rising; otherwise split gold (IAU) and silver (SLV). Rebalance daily.
Drives superior risk-adjusted gains: OOS Sharpe ~2.05 vs SPY ~1.10, OOS return ~93% annually, strong alpha, Calmar ~9.6. A risk-on tech/crypto momentum sleeve that shifts to bonds/gold in weakness to limit drawdowns.
