About
Daily momentum tilt between levered long vs bear ETFs; pick one asset from the appropriate pool using a 4-day momentum screen and allocate almost all active capital to that single asset (with ~30% in cash).
Daily, relative-momentum decision between a long, levered ETF pool and a bear/short ETF pool. If RSI(IEI,7) > RSI(SPHB,7) you buy one levered long ETF (the best candidate per a 4-day momentum screen); else you buy one bear/short ETF (again the best candidate per the same screen). About 30% of the portfolio sits in cash; the active allocation goes into a single selected ETF (roughly 70–100% of the active portion).
Out-of-sample, this strategy seeks ~71% annualized return vs ~23% for the S&P, with 30% cash and Calmar ~1.69. Daily momentum tilts between leveraged longs and bears target big upturns, with risk controls—drawdowns can hit ~42%.
