About
A tactical, rules‑based portfolio that rides trends in tech and Treasuries when calm, and shifts to gold, the US dollar, staples, or volatility hedges during stress. It uses simple “hot/cold” and trend gauges to lean risk‑on or defend against crashes.
In plain English: it’s a rules-based mix that tries to “surf the calm” and “brace for storms.” It reads simple gauges of heat/cool (RSI), trend (moving averages), choppiness (volatility), recent gains, and recent drops to decide what to hold.
• Two volatility sentries watch the Nasdaq/S&P. Very hot → buy “fear” (UVXY) + a defensive stock mix (BTAL). Calm → ride tech (QLD) or bet on falling fear (SVXY/VIXM). Weak → a safety basket (SHY, SPY, BTAL, GLD, XLP).
• An interest‑rate sleeve trend‑trades long US Treasuries: rising and not overheated → TMF (leveraged long bonds); falling or overheated → TMV (leveraged short bonds) or safety (gold GLD, US dollar UUP/USDU, staples XLP).
• A momentum sleeve holds the best 2 of stocks (SPY), long bonds (TLT), gold (GLD), US dollar (UUP), commodities (DBC), or cash (SHV).
• A crash‑catcher reacts to sharp tech drops: hedge with fear (UVXY), buy big dips (TQQQ) when deeply oversold, or sit in a safety trio (USDU/GLD/XLP).
Ticker notes: UVXY/SVXY/VIXM = volatility funds; BTAL = defensive (long boring/short exciting stocks); TMF/TMV = 3x long/short 20‑yr Treasuries; UUP/USDU = long US dollar; XLP = consumer staples.
Out-of-sample, this multi-sleeve strategy delivers 24.7% annualized vs SPY 22.8%, lower max drawdown (16% vs 18.8%), and a stronger Calmar (~1.55), with beta ~0.84. It aims for higher growth with less downside across regimes.
