About
A daily, rules-based trend strategy that rotates into leveraged US stock ETFs when conditions are strong and into defensive assets (long Treasuries, cash, gold, dollar, utilities, volatility) when conditions weaken, picking recent winners within each bucket.
Each day it runs 4 “trend checks”: Tech vs Utilities, Bonds vs cash (plus global/wood-vs-gold), Inflation (TIP), and S&P 500 moving averages. If trends look healthy, it buys 3x stock funds (TQQQ, SPXL, UPRO, UDOW). If not, it shifts to long Treasuries (TMF), cash, gold, dollar, utilities, or volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXY). RSI is used to spot “too hot” (>75–80) or “washed out” (<30) to hedge or buy dips.
An adaptive, risk-managed trend strategy that leverages uptrends and defenses in downturns. Out-of-sample Sharpe 0.81, Calmar 0.64, beta 0.84—delivers diversified, potentially smoother growth with lower market sensitivity than the S&P 500.
