About
A very aggressive daily trading strategy that uses bonds vs risky stocks as a market mood test, then makes a contrarian bet in one leveraged or inverse fund that recently fell the most.
This strategy checks which is acting stronger lately: a safer bond fund (IEI) or a very aggressive stock fund (SPHB). That acts like its market mood gauge.
Then it picks from either a bullish or bearish watchlist of very high-risk funds. In that list, it buys the single fund that has done the worst over the last 4 days, betting on a rebound or reversal. It re-checks and can switch every day.
Out-of-sample edge: ~59% annualized return with ~1.10 Calmar, via a daily contrarian bet on the worst performer among leveraged/inverse funds after a bonds-vs-stocks mood check. Expect up to ~54% drawdown; high risk, high reward.
