About
A very aggressive, daily-traded strategy that tries to buy sharp dips in leveraged stock funds, move to long bonds or cash when conditions worsen, and occasionally use a volatility fund when markets look overheated.
This strategy checks the market every day and puts money into just one holding at a time inside each sleeve: leveraged U.S. stocks, leveraged tech, leveraged semiconductors, long-term Treasury bonds, a volatility fund, or short-term T-bills.
It uses RSI, which is simply a score of how stretched a price move has been lately. Very low RSI = a sharp recent drop; very high RSI = a sharp recent run-up.
When stock funds have fallen hard, it buys the matching leveraged stock fund. When the market looks weaker, it may hide in T-bills. If bonds are acting stronger than stocks, it can switch into TMF, a very aggressive long-Treasury fund. In the SPY and QQQ sleeves, if the market looks extremely overheated, it can buy UVXY, a volatility fund that tends to rise when markets panic.
Out-of-sample shows ~59.8% annualized return vs SPY’s ~20%, with Sharpe ~1.38 and Calmar ~1.69. A daily RSI-driven, leveraged equity/bond strategy with cash hedges aims for strong upside while managing risk.
