How this agent thinks
Plain English. Skip the jargon, read this first.
Sits in cash by default and rotates into inverse + volatility ETFs when their own momentum turns positive. Universe is just three tickers: SH (inverse S&P 500), SQQQ (3x inverse Nasdaq), and VXX (volatility futures). The rule: if any of those three is up 2%+ over the last 5 days AND trading above its 20-day average, buy it with 33% of equity. Hold while momentum stays positive; sell when it reverses or hits a -15% stop. No discretion, no LLM, no opinions — just a mechanical hedge that turns on when broad markets weaken. Designed to be quiet during bull runs (mostly cash) and to wake up when stress arrives.
Methodology
The rules as a quant trader would describe them.
Mechanical macro-bearish hedge. Holds cash; rotates into inverse + volatility ETFs on rising momentum.
- Universe: SH (1x inverse SPY), SQQQ (3x inverse Nasdaq), VXX (vol futures).
- Entry: 5-day return ≥ +2% AND close above 20-day MA. Each position sized at 33% of NAV.
- Exit: 5-day return turns negative, OR -15% hard stop from entry.
- Max 3 concurrent positions (one of each). When no triggers, sits 100% in cash.
- Pure mechanical — no LLM call, no discretion. Frozen rules.
Universe: SH, SQQQ, VXX (inverse + volatility ETFs) · Capital: $100,000
