About
A daily‑rebalanced, high‑octane ETF strategy. It goes defensive in panic (cash/vol hedges) and aggressively long or short sectors when conditions favor it, concentrating on the two fastest‑moving plays at any time.
Daily, it first asks: “Are markets stressed?” using a volatility reading (VIX futures). If yes, it runs a crash playbook: rotate to T‑bills, volatility funds, or take small mean‑reversion shots in TQQQ when deeply oversold.
If no, it goes on offense: pick sectors (tech, small caps, banks, real estate, biotech, gold miners, EM) and choose either bull or bear ETFs based on quick checks like “are stocks stronger than bonds?” It then picks the two fastest‑moving sub‑strategies and splits the money between them.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~33% vs SPY ~21%, with positive alpha and Calmar ~0.72. Regime-switching, dual-engine design defends in stress via cash/vol hedges and captures leaders when favorable, delivering extra upside with built-in risk controls.
