About
A high-risk, daily-traded strategy that switches between one leveraged bullish fund or one bearish fund based on whether bonds or volatile stocks have had stronger recent momentum.
This strategy checks one simple question each day: have safer bonds been acting stronger lately than jumpy stocks?
It measures “acting stronger” with RSI, which is just a score of recent price strength. If bonds look stronger, it buys 1 beaten-down aggressive bullish fund from a list of tech, biotech, semiconductors, China, emerging markets, stocks, or long-term bonds. If jumpy stocks look stronger, it buys 1 beaten-down bearish fund that profits when ARKK, Nasdaq, real estate, bonds, or gold miners fall.
It also appears to keep a large chunk in cash, so only part of the portfolio is actively traded.
Out-of-sample edge: ~81% annualized return vs SPY ~22%, with Calmar ~1.63 signaling strong risk-adjusted upside. A regime-switching, cash-aware approach adds diversification and targets beaten-down bets. Note: max drawdown can reach ~50%—higher risk tolerance required.
