About
An ultra-aggressive, daily-rebalanced ETF playbook that switches between leveraged long bets, bearish/short bets, volatility plays, and defenses based on momentum and volatility signals, aiming to capture big trends while using UVXY and bonds/dollars as hedges.
- It runs daily and chooses a small set of ETFs to own (or short) for the day.
- It uses a decision tree with many branches, split into Bull (long bets) and Bear (short/inverse bets) groups, plus volatility and defensive sections.
- Signals come from momentum and trend indicators (RSI, moving averages, exponential moving averages) and short-term performance/volatility tests (cumulative return, standard deviation).
- The most common end state is to own 2–4 assets with equal weights (100/100 across chosen assets).
- Volatility plays (UVXY) are used to exploit spikes in fear, while defensive assets (bonds, dollar, or short-term Treasuries) can be used to provide occasional ballast.
- The exposure is heavily skewed toward leveraged ETFs, so accuracy of the signals and the market regime matters a lot for outcomes.
- It’s automated and daily-rebalanced, so there’s little room for manual discretion in between rebalances.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~40% vs S&P ~23%; automated daily, levered trend bets with volatility/bond hedges. Higher upside, but expect meaningful drawdowns in choppy markets—risk-aware, systematic edge.
