About
A daily, rule-based rotation that mostly bets on leveraged tech upside (via TQQQ/SPXL) when momentum is strong, but switches to hedges (inverse ETFs, bonds, gold) as risk rises. It uses RSI/moving-average signals across many assets and regime labels (Bull/Bear groups) to decide what to own and how much, aiming for big gains in good times with systematic downside protection.
- The strategy runs every trading day and decides how to allocate the portfolio across a set of ETFs.
- It looks for bullish momentum signals (using momentum indicators like RSI and moving averages) across multiple assets (tech, broader equities, bonds, gold, volatility proxies).
- When signals are strong and supportive (a bullish regime), it tends to allocate more to long, leveraged equity bets (primarily TQQQ, a 3x long bet on tech’s QQQ). This aims to capture sharp upside in favorable markets.
- When signals weaken or risk rises, it shifts toward hedges and defensive positions (short or inverse ETFs such as SQQQ or PSQ for tech, SPXS for broad equities, EDZ for emerging markets, TMV for long treasury bonds, or gold via GLD, and some bond funds like BND/IEF/BIL depending on the regime).
- The process uses a hierarchy of conditions labeled as Bull, Bear, Four Corners, Mild Bull/Bear, Bear 1–4, etc., to define market regimes and decide which assets to own and in what weights.
- KMLM is one of the inputs used as a signal source (an input ETF with RSI under certain windows) to help gauge breadth or regime strength, even though it’s less commonly discussed.
- Signals incorporate cross-asset comparisons (e.g., RSI of one asset relative to another, moving-average relationships, and cumulative returns) to tilt toward whichever regime appears strongest.
- The result is a highly dynamic, daily-adjusted mix of long-leveraged exposure and hedges intended to maximize upside in good times while limiting losses in bad times. It is complex, leverage-heavy, and requires careful risk controls.
Dynamic, rule-based rotation that blends leveraged tech bets with disciplined hedges. It aims for strong risk-adjusted gains in up markets and diversification during volatility, offering an active alternative to the S&P 500.
