About
A tactical, rules-based portfolio that rides tech, bonds, and commodity uptrends, quickly hedges with VIX or shorts in selloffs, and parks in T‑bills when signals weaken. Uses leveraged/inverse ETFs and daily rebalancing; high risk, active approach.
- It’s a rule-driven, daily‑rebalanced portfolio that shifts between five toolkits: US stocks (mostly big tech), bonds, commodities/energy, volatility hedges, and cash-like T‑bills.
- Trend checks: If prices sit above their average (uptrend), it holds growth (QQQ/TQQQ). If they break down, it moves to cash or turns on hedges/shorts (PSQ/SH/SPXU).
- “Hot/cold” gauges (RSI): Very hot (overbought) readings add VIX hedges (UVXY/VIXY). Very cold (oversold) can trigger small bounce trades or stay in T‑bills.
- Bonds: When falling rates help Treasuries, it buys TMF; when rising rates hurt them, it flips to TMV. If unclear, it parks in safer bond/cash funds.
- Commodities/energy: Own oil/nat‑gas/metals when they trend up; if they roll over, reduce to cash or use inverse funds (like KOLD for nat gas).
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ~1.31) and far smaller drawdowns (7.8% vs 18.8%), with ~18.3% return and Calmar ~2.33—growth with downside protection vs the S&P 500.
