About
Rules-based rotation that uses a trend filter and a “hot/cold” gauge (RSI) to toggle between leveraged tech, safety bonds, and volatility hedges. It buys dips, hedges when markets run hot, and cross-checks bonds, dollar, and gold to avoid bad shorts.
First, is the market trending up? (SPY above its 200‑day average.) If yes, it prefers growth (TQQQ = 3x big tech) unless things look too “hot” (RSI = a hot/cold gauge), then it hedges with SQQQ or UVXY (inverse tech/vol). If no, it buys dips in tech when very “cold”; otherwise it parks in short‑term bonds (SHY/SHV/STIP). Before shorting, it cross‑checks Treasuries (TLT), the US dollar (UUP/UDN), and gold (UGL). A side sleeve (“VIXen”) adds/removes volatility hedges as markets heat/cool. High risk.
Out-of-sample, this rules-based rotation beats the S&P on risk-adjusted returns: Sharpe ~1.60 vs 1.41, Calmar ~2.24, beta ~0.86, and ~69.6% annualized vs 22.5%. Dynamic hedged exposure targets tech upside with controlled risk (drawdowns can be larger).
