The machinery is visible: what each strategy holds, when it trades, why it moved to cash.

Strategy Types

Different rulebooks.
One discipline.

Systematic entries and exits. Cash when conditions call for it.

Risk-Aware Hedged

Long-only core portfolio. When AI detects elevated risk, a hedge is automatically added to reduce drawdowns.

Best for: core portfolios with downside protection.
Up to 10 assets
Long + Hedge

Tactical Long-Only

AI shifts allocation based on market conditions. Full exposure when risk is low, defensive cash position when it rises.

Best for: capturing upside with a built-in cash safety net.
Up to 5 assets
Long + Cash

Tactical Long/Short

AI shifts between cash and an inverse position to maintain a long/short portfolio stance as market conditions evolve.

Best for: maximum adaptability across bull and bear markets.
Up to 5 assets
Long + Inverse

Momentum Long-Only

Ranks assets by momentum signals and holds the strongest performers. Automatically moves to cash when trends turn negative.

Best for: systematic trend following with rules-based selection.
Up to 10 assets
Long + Cash

Momentum Hedged

Momentum-driven asset selection with an AI-activated hedge. When AI detects elevated risk, a hedge is automatically added for downside protection.

Best for: systematic trend following with hedged downside.
Up to 10 assets
Long + Hedge

Mean Reversion

Buys oversold assets and exits when prices snap back. Cash is favored when elevated risk is detected. Trades are only entered when market conditions are favorable.

Best for: systematic dip buying with a cash downside buffer.
Up to 10 assets
Long + Cash

Leveraged Regime Switcher

AI switches between a primary leveraged ETF and a defensive instrument based on market conditions and risk signals.

Best for: investors with a high risk tolerance who want systematic leveraged exposure.
