About
Rules-based, daily‑rebalanced portfolio that shifts between stocks, bonds, commodities, and “fear” hedges. Uses trend and a simple heat gauge (RSI) to trim risk when markets are hot, buy dips when they’re washed out, and park in T‑bills when trends break.
- 45% stocks, 30% bonds, 15% commodities/“fear” hedges, 10% real estate/industrials.
- It watches two things: trend and “heat.” Trend = price vs its recent average. Heat (RSI) is a 0–100 gauge of how fast something just rose or fell; >75 is “too hot,” <30 is “washed out.”
- When stocks get too hot, it trims risk by mixing “fear” ETFs (linked to VIX) and defensive funds (market‑neutral or inverse).
- When stocks fall hard, it buys dips mainly in tech/semis, but only if short‑term signals say “washed out.”
- Bonds flip between long Treasuries, short‑duration cash-like bills, or even profit from falling bond prices, based on trends and heat.
- Commodities sleeves ride uptrends in oil/energy/broad commodities and step aside to T‑bills when trends weaken. A small tail‑risk sleeve buys “fear” when markets get euphoric.
- Rebalances daily by rules; no discretionary calls.
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers superior downside protection and risk control vs SPY: max drawdown 12.7% vs 18.8%, beta ~0.68, and Calmar ~0.86, delivering steadier, risk-adjusted growth even in volatile markets.
