1. Maximizing Returns With Market Cycle Investing
1.1. Mastering the Alpha Hedge Strategy
The Alpha Hedge strategy algorithm observes three pieces of information and defines the portfolio optimization accordingly.
1.1.1. Alpha 1
Market Cycle phase. This youâve already learned in Lesson 1 of this Course. With this analysis, we define at what time of the cycle the asset is.
1.1.2. Alpha 2
Past results don't guarantee future performance, but you shouldn't draft a quarterback for your team with low statistical performance. This doesnât guarantee that he will perform well next season, external factors can interfere, but analyzing how this player acted in the past puts the probabilities on your side. Thatâs where the Alpha 2 indicator comes in.
Alpha 2 focuses on comparing the performance of entries and exits according to the Market Cycle in comparison to the Buy-and-Hold strategy.
If the cyclical performance outperforms the Buy-and-Hold strategy over the same period, it suggests a high probability for a long-term uptrends.
1.1.3. Alpha 3
Alpha 3 is about the Expectancy Ratio. Mathematical expectancy stands as a lighthouse, guiding ships safely to the shores of predictability and strategic success.
Often shrouded in the mist of mathematical complexity, this principle is indeed a cornerstone in not just financial forecasting but also in life decisions encompassing career planning and health management.
The Expectancy Ratio is a key component of our Alpha indicators, serving as a crucial element in the comprehensive framework of the Alpha Hedge Strategy.
The interpretation of Expectancy Ratio is the probability of profit per dollar risked.
1.1.4. Bottom Line
A favorable Expectancy Ratio (Alpha 3), combined with superior Alpha Hedge Performance over the Buy-and-Hold strategy (Alpha 2) during a Positive Cycle (Alpha 1), signals a green light for investments. The better the synergy of these metrics, the more suitable the asset is for your Portfolio.
2. Case Study: SPXL Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X Shares
Consider the following example involving the Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X Shares SPXL ETF.
The first step is to identify the Alpha 1, Market Cycle Phase. By April 2024, the ETF is in Phase 3: Belief.
The next step is to calculate Alpha 2 and Alpha 3. For this, we configure the Alpha Hedge Algorithm on the Trendspider Platform.
As demonstrated in the image above, the Net Performance (performance of the Alpha Hedge Strategy) was 6,859.1%, surpassing the Buy-and-Hold strategy, which offered a 2,696.2% gain in15.4 years (without any new contributions or withdrawals, with profits reinvested and dividends excluded throughout the period).
The Alpha 3 criterion is the Expectancy Ratio calculated for the SPXL ETF: 3.9 (Positive Expectancy).
2.1. Conclusion
A favorable Expectancy Ratio (3.9), combined with superior Alpha Hedge Performance over the Buy-and-Hold strategy (6,859.1% over 2,696%) during a Positive Cycle (Phase 3: Belief), signals a green light for investments in the SPXL ETF.
