About
A daily, rules-based, multi-asset portfolio that blends volatility hedges, momentum bets, and hedges across gold, dollar, and bonds to navigate different market regimes while aiming to control drawdowns.
The strategy is built as a set of modules that run every day and allocate capital across a broad mix of assets. It starts with two volatility-focused checks titled “Vol Check” and “Spoo Vol Check,” each looking for signs of turbulence (using volatility-related instruments like UVXY and BTAL and momentum signals on QQQ). If volatility conditions are favorable (or if momentum signals indicate strength), it tilts toward volatility hedges or momentum-driven stock exposures; if volatility spikes or risk signals trigger, it shifts toward hedging and safer assets (glD, UUP, bonds).
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher growth (≈25.5% vs 21.6%), with strong risk-adjusted returns (Calmar ≈1.16) and diversified hedges (volatility, gold, dollar, bonds). A regime-aware, resilient alternative to the S&P 500.
