About
A multi-strategy, daily-rebalancing ETF rotation framework that blends leveraged growth bets (e.g., TQQQ, TECL, SOXL) with volatility hedges and ballast (bonds, US dollar, gold) across market regimes, selected via momentum and risk rules to target upside while limiting drawdowns.
- It runs several rule-based modules that each pick 1–3 ETFs to own from a large universe of funds, including levered and inverse ETFs.
- Each module uses momentum and risk signals to rank assets: recent performance (cumulative return), price trends vs. recent averages, drawdown risk, and a short-term momentum indicator (RSI-like signal).
- Some modules test market regimes (Bull, Normal, Bear/Sideways) and apply different asset sets and weights under each regime.
- The top assets are chosen and weighted to form the final portfolio. Weights are often high for a few winners (e.g., 100% split among 1–3 picks) and can shift between modules.
- A volatility hedge layer (UVXY and other volatility/short exposures) is used when risk signals spike, to reduce downside and protect gains.
- The whole system re-evaluates and rebalances daily, selecting new top assets as signals change.
- The framework favors a diversified mix of leveraged growth bets, hedges, and ballast (bonds, dollar, gold) to capture different facets of market moves.
Example (simplified): If the market appears strong and momentum signals are favorable, the system may hold 1–3 leveraged tech/semis bets (like TQQQ, TECL, SOXL) with heavy weight to the best performer(s).
If volatility signals rise or momentum weakens, it may reduce stock exposure and tilt toward hedges (SDS/SQQQ, UVXY) and ballast (AGG/IEF/TLT, USDU, GLD).
Adaptive, regime-aware ETF rotation blending leveraged growth with hedges and ballast. ~21% OOS return with diversification and risk controls to complement a core SPY position.
