About
A daily, rule-based, multi-asset strategy that switches between volatility hedges, ARK-theme longs/shorts, and treasury/crypto hedges based on momentum signals and regime checks. It uses a dense decision tree to pick small sets of instruments and weights them within a risk budget.
- What it tries to do: adapt to market mood by shifting between volatile hedges, growth-oriented bets, and Treasuries as the environment changes. - How signals are generated: momentum and strength tests (simple measures of price momentum and relative performance) across several lookback periods; tests on market breadth proxies (SPY and related indices); checks against volatility and crypto signals. - How decisions are made: if the market looks overheated (overbought) on momentum tests, the system tilts to volatility plays (UVXY, VIXY) or other hedges; if it looks oversold or supportive of a bounce, it seeks long exposure to growth/ARK-like themes (ARKK, ARKW, ARKG, ARQ, and related 2x products) and selective levered long exposures (SOXL, TECL, etc.). It also uses short or hedged positions (SARK, SQQQ, SOXS) in some branches to balance risk. - How assets are chosen: the strategy screens a broad universe of ETFs and levered products, then selects one or a small number of instruments per regime based on the order in which they score on momentum/RSI/return metrics. - Portfolio structure: the system combines several sub-strategies (each with its own regime rules) into a single daily-rebalanced portfolio, with weights allocated within each sub-strategy and across the overall mix to respect a risk budget. - Risk management: uses cross-asset confirmations, volatility signals, and negative/positive momentum tests to avoid chasing trends; levered and inverse instruments are used in controlled, regime-driven ways to avoid unnecessary risk. Plain-language takeaway: Think of this as a smart, busy traffic controller that tries to detect when the market is too hot or too cold, and then steers toward hedges (volatility), fast-growing themes (ARK-related bets), or safer bets (shorts and Treasuries) depending on what the signals say on any given day.
Out-of-sample edge: ~31.5% return vs ~23.9% for the S&P, aided by regime-based hedges and growth tilts. Higher upside, but a larger max drawdown (~55%), so suitable for higher risk tolerance.
