About
A two-layer, regime-driven tactical mix that shifts between safe bonds/cash and leveraged stock exposure using fear (volatility), bond momentum, and rate signals to guide allocation. Uses multiple ETFs (SHY, BND, BIL, UUP, UPRO, TQQQ, SQQQ, TBF) to implement the rules and rebalance dynamically.
- The portfolio is divided into two main parts: Hedgie Simple (60%) and on/off (40%).
- A volatility/fear gauge (RSI on a volatility proxy) tells you when markets look stressed. If fear is high, the system shifts toward safety (SHY).
- If fear is not elevated, the strategy enters growth/levered modes but only after checks on bond performance (60-day returns of BND vs BIL) and rate conditions pass. Depending on those checks, it tilts toward leveraged stock exposure (UPRO, TQQQ) with optional hedging via UUP, SQQQ, and TBF.
- In some branches, a refined rule set (HFEA) uses moving averages and drawdown signals to push more aggressive exposure when trends look favorable and reduce risk when they don’t.
- The strategy regularly rebalances according to these rules, selecting from a small set of assets (stocks, bonds, cash, and hedges) to match the current regime.
Two-layer, regime-driven strategy shifts to safety in volatility and to levered growth when signals align. Out-of-sample: ~20.5% annual return, 0.69 Sharpe, 0.45 Calmar, with dynamic hedging, aimed at diversified growth and improved risk-adjusted returns vs SPY.
