About
A daily tactical strategy that swings between 3x tech/semis, volatility hedges (VXX), long/short Treasuries, gold/commodities and EM, using a price “speedometer” (RSI) and trend filters (incl. KMLM). Goal: ride trends, hedge euphoric peaks, buy sharp dips. High risk.
It rebalances daily and watches a short‑term “speedometer” of price moves (RSI): high = overheated, low = washed out. When stocks look overheated (SPY/QQQ/sectors), it buys volatility (VXX) or defensive mixes. When washed out and the long‑term trend is up, it buys 3x tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, UPRO). It also flips long/short Treasuries (TMF/TMV), uses gold/commodities, and sometimes EM. KMLM (managed‑futures) is a yardstick: if tech beats KMLM, take risk; if not, hedge. High risk.
Out-of-sample, Sharpe 3.04 vs 2.47, annualized return 88% vs 29%, Calmar 11.65, beta ~0.56. Higher risk-adjusted upside, disciplined hedges, and diversified, regime-driven alpha beyond the S&P 500.
