About
A rules‑driven, multi‑asset strategy. It leans into tech‑led stock uptrends, buys sharp dips, and shifts to hedges (VIX funds, cash‑like T‑Bills, anti‑beta) or bonds when risk rises. Smaller sleeves rotate commodities (oil/nat gas/gold/USD) and REITs. Daily rebalanced.
The portfolio splits across 4 buckets: about 45% stocks, 30% bonds, 15% commodities/volatility, 10% real estate. It asks simple questions each day: Is price above its recent average (uptrend) or not? Is it overheated or washed out? If too hot, it hedges (VIX funds, cash‑like T‑Bills, market‑neutral). If strong or deeply oversold, it buys leaders (often tech/semis). Small sleeves trade oil, nat gas, the dollar. Uses some leveraged ETFs, so swings can be large.
Key terms in plain English:
- RSI: a quick “speedometer” of recent ups vs downs. Very high = stretched (take risk off); very low = washed out (small dip‑buy).
- Moving average: the average price over X days. Above it = uptrend; below it = downtrend.
- VIX funds (VIXY/UVXY): tend to rise when market fear jumps; used as a safety valve.
- BTAL/EUM: diversifiers that often help when high‑risk stocks fall (BTAL) or when emerging markets fall (EUM).
Evidence-based, rules-driven multi-asset strategy reduces risk: oos drawdown ~12.7% vs SPY ~18.8%, beta ~0.68, diversified hedges and trend signals deliver steadier, risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500.
