About
A daily, leveraged S&P 500 strategy that watches interest‑rate trends and volatility. It rides UPRO in friendly regimes and rotates into a lower‑volatility mix of Treasuries (IEF/TMF), gold (GLD), and the US dollar (UUP) when risks rise.
Daily: 1) Are bonds (BND) beating cash‑like T‑bills (BIL) over 60 days? If yes, rates not rising; if no, rising.
- Not rising: mostly hold UPRO (3x S&P 500). After a >5% 10‑day drop plus a vol spike (SVXY down), flip to TMF (3x long Treasuries); otherwise stay in UPRO.
- Rising: if bonds bounced in 2 days, hold 55% UPRO + 45% of IEF (7–10y Treasuries), UUP (US dollar), GLD (gold), TMF, sized by recent calmness. If bonds still fall, hold only that mix (adds UPRO if calm).
Out-of-sample: ~18.2% annualized return, Sharpe ~0.67. Leverages in favorable regimes, hedges to Treasuries/Gold/USD in risk regimes—aims for better risk-adjusted gains vs SPY, with oos drawdowns up to ~53%.
