About
A complex, multi-layered, signal-driven allocation that alternates between aggressive, leveraged bets on growth (tech/semis and ARK-like exposures) and defensive hedges (volatility, gold/silver, dollar/bond proxies). It uses momentum and price signals to move money among many buckets, with a heavy emphasis on regime-shifting rules and upside capture through levered ETFs, while attempting to tame risk with hedges and targeted bear-market selectors.
- The strategy is built from several big blocks (baskets) that are not all invested in at once. Each block has its own theme (for example, a Golden Ark Ballers core and a MIM overlay, plus energy/Gold/Silver/dollar hedges).
- Within each block, dozens of smaller groups define which assets to use and how to allocate them. Assets are ETFs and similar instruments (for example, UVXY for volatility exposure, SOXL/TECL for leveraged tech exposure, GLD for gold, BITO for Bitcoin-related exposure, and various Treasury and dollar hedges).
- The system uses signals to decide which path to take. Signals include momentum checks (RSI, a measure of price strength), moving-average comparisons (whether a price is above or below a recent average), and price levels relative to other assets (for example, price comparisons to a short-term Treasuries proxy or dollar hedges). If a signal indicates risk is rising or a regime change is detected (high volatility, bear market indicators), the logic tends to tilt toward hedges (UVXY, SDS, QID, GLL, etc.), gold/silver, or cash-like risk offsets. If a signal indicates growth potential (strong momentum in tech/semis, bullish price signals), the logic tilts toward long, levered bets (SOXL, TECL, TARK, ARKK/ARKK-family, and related high-beta parts).
- There are explicit weights attached to major buckets (e.g., a large portion of capital sits in the “V1a Golden Ark Ballers” block while other blocks get smaller but non-zero allocations). Some segments even carry explicit “Long/Short” dichotomies (e.g., Long SOXL/TECL vs. Short SOXS/SOXS-like legs) to capture directional bets and hedges simultaneously.
- Rebalancing is not done on a strict calendar; the plan says “rebalance: none” with a small corridor width, implying changes occur when conditions in the decision tree are met rather than on a routine schedule.
- The overall construction uses many nested decision nodes (e.g., “Bear Market Stock Selector” and “Bull Market Stock Selector”) that pick a subset of assets based on quantitative tests (like standard deviation, drawdown, RSI thresholds) and then constrain the selection with filters (for example, top or bottom by a given metric).
- The system relies on many levered ETFs (e.g., 2x or 3x exposure) and hedges; this magnifies both upside and downside; investors should expect higher volatility and larger drawdowns during stressed markets, and it requires tight risk controls and robust risk capacity.
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers upside with hedges: ~46% annualized return vs ~22% SPY; Calmar ~1.27. Expect higher volatility and drawdowns (~36% vs ~19%), but potential for superior long-term growth via regime-shift bets.
