About
A daily, multi-basket tactical strategy that rotates between risk-on and risk-off ETF groups using momentum and relative strength signals to pick assets, with volatility and bear hedges to manage risk. It emphasizes leveraged tech/semiconductor bets in up markets and defensive hedges in down markets, rotating assets across a global mix.
- The system runs a daily screen that forms several thematic “baskets” (groups of ETFs) intended to ride market upswings and protect on downturns.
- Each basket has a defined role, e.g. a Bull/Tech basket (long tech/semiconductors), a Bear/Inverse basket (bear/B3x or short exposure), a Defense basket (softer assets like short-term bonds and gold proxies), and volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXY) to cushion risk.
- Within a basket, the algorithm picks specific assets to own using momentum-like checks and relative strength against a broad market proxy (often SPY). It tends to choose the strongest performers within a theme when conditions look favorable.
- Signals incorporate moving-average style measures and short-term momentum (such as RSIs or similar screens) to decide whether to tilt toward risk-on assets or shift to hedges.
- The strategy often uses leverage (2x/3x) in the long-side baskets to amplify upside, and uses bear or volatility instruments to hedge or express bearish views during risk-off times.
- Rebalancing is daily, meaning positions can change a lot day-to-day as conditions flip between risk-on and risk-off.
- The overall aim is to maximize upside when trends are favorable, while trying to limit downside with hedges and defensive allocations during pullbacks.
- It touches a wide set of ETFs, including technology/semiconductor-focused plays, broad market momentum plays, bond/defensive assets, commodities, and volatility vehicles, sometimes in combinations intended to exploit short-term patterns (e.g., “buy the dip,” “sell the rip,” “bear tilt when overextended”).
Out-of-sample edge: ~62% annualized vs ~24% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.27. A daily, momentum-driven, leveraged tech/defense basket strategy aims for big upside while using hedges; note drawdowns can be larger in stress.
