About
Rapid, rules‑based swings between 3x bull/bear China (YINN/YANG) and emerging‑markets funds (EDC/EDZ), with an EEM fallback. It reacts to extreme China moves (FXI), the US‑dollar trend (UUP), RSI “heat,” and simple trend filters.
Switches among leveraged China (YINN=+3x, YANG=−3x) and emerging‑markets funds (EDC=+3x, EDZ=−3x). Sometimes holds EEM (plain EM).
RSI: a 0–100 heat gauge of recent moves (70=hot; 30=cold). MAs: short vs long trend lines.
If China (FXI) moved >+10% or <−10% in 5 days, it plays a snap‑back, using today’s move to pick bull/bear.
Else: if the US dollar (UUP) is strong, RSI decides; if weak, it needs YINN in an uptrend (9d>90d) or it parks in EEM. Two picks split 50/50.
Out-of-sample, this strategy outperforms the S&P on risk-adjusted returns: Sharpe 1.34 vs 1.11, Calmar 2.11, alpha 0.95, beta 0.24. It harnesses leveraged China/EM swings with a USD trend filter. Note: max drawdown can exceed 50% in crises.
