About
A multi-basket, momentum-driven portfolio of levered long and hedged bets across volatility, tech/semis, gold, energy, dollars, and crypto proxies. Signals rely on RSI, moving averages, and momentum checks to decide what to own (or short) and how to weight exposures, aiming for upside capture with built-in volatility and diversification hedges.
The strategy builds several big baskets (themes). Each basket has sub-baskets for Long and Short positions. It uses momentum signals (RSI-like metrics) and price/ Moving Average checks to decide when to buy or sell specific ETFs. When conditions favor risk-taking, it tends to tilt toward levered long bets (e.g., SOXL for semis, TECL for tech, UGL for gold). When conditions look risky or overextended, it shifts toward hedges (UVXY, QID/SDS as shorts, gold and dollar exposure). Exposures are weighted and layered over time, with rules that can add positions (gain trains) or reduce them. The system also mixes in “Bear Market” and “Bull Market” selectors that pick a couple of best options based on volatility and drawdown metrics, then pick a small subset to trade. There are separate thematic streams (e.g., Golden Ark Ballers, Golden MIM, Energy Momentum, Silver, Gold, US Dollar hedges, and Bitcoin-based blocks) that operate in parallel and influence overall tilts. The approach relies on leveraged ETFs and inverse/short vehicles, combined with risk-off hedges, and adjusts across multiple horizons (short-term to several months). Expect frequent state-dependent rebalancing and relatively high turnover. Important caveat: this is a high-risk, complexity-heavy framework that requires robust risk controls, liquidity checks, and understanding of the leverage/short-expense drag.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~33% vs ~21% for the S&P, with positive alpha and Calmar ~1.14. Diversified momentum across levered longs and hedges targets higher upside, with drawdowns around ~29%.
