About
A daily, rules-driven rotation that rides trends and defends in selloffs. It tilts into tech in calm times, then shifts to volatility hedges, Treasuries, the U.S. dollar, gold, or defensives when markets look overheated or jumpy. Uses leveraged/volatility ETFs.
It’s a daily, rules-based switcher. It reads three dials: trend (price vs its recent average), “heat” (RSI—how stretched a move is), and volatility (how jumpy returns are). Calm: lean into leveraged Nasdaq or short‑vol. Overheated or plunging: flip to long‑vol, defensives, T‑bills, or gold. Falling yields: own long Treasuries; rising yields: bearish Treasuries or the U.S. dollar. A momentum sleeve holds the 2 strongest of stocks, bonds, gold, dollar, or commodities. Main exposures: tech, Treasuries, gold, dollar, commodities, defensives. Key tickers: UVXY/SVXY (volatility), BTAL (defensive long/short), TMF/TMV (3x Treasuries), UUP/USDU (U.S. dollar), PSQ/SH (short stocks).
Out-of-sample return 25.8% vs 21.6% S&P, Sharpe ~1.25, Calmar ~1.14. A rules-based, multi-asset strategy that rides trends and hedges volatility/rates for higher upside with disciplined risk; note: drawdowns can be larger in crises.
