Intelligence

Sells "insurance" (put options) on steady ETFs to collect cash up front.

Managed: If a stock dips onto its books, it holds the shares and sells calls for more income.

Risk: Low — worst case it owns a fund it was happy to buy, at a discount.

When a stock pulls back hard, it gets paid to agree to buy it cheaper later.

Managed: Closes for profit as the premium decays, or takes the shares at the lower price.

Risk: Low — only on names it would happily own.

On shares it already owns that are drifting sideways, it sells calls for extra income.

Managed: Keeps the premium each cycle; the stock may get called away at a profit.

Risk: Low — gives up some upside in exchange for steady income.

Each morning it sells a same-day options spread on both sides of the S&P 500.

Managed: Wins if the market stays in a range by the close; skips wild days automatically.

Risk: Moderate — the loss on any one day is capped.

Once a month, buys the strongest stocks and bets against the weakest.

Managed: Rebalanced monthly; diversified across many names.

Risk: Moderate — spread across a basket, roughly market-neutral.

Right at the 9:30 open, on stocks trading with unusually heavy volume, it buys the breakout above the first 5 minutes.

Managed: Rides it intraday with a stop-loss; always sold and flat by the close — no overnight risk.

Risk: Moderate — risks only 0.5% per trade and never holds overnight.

After a company reports earnings, if the stock pops more than 3%, it buys — winners tend to keep drifting up for a few days.

Managed: Holds about 3 trading days, then sells. Long-only; it never bets against the stocks that fell.

Risk: Moderate — small, diversified positions across many names.

Every Monday it ranks five famous tech names by recent momentum and puts the whole book in the single strongest one.

Managed: One position at a time, rotated weekly; capped at its own $10k book.

Risk: High — all-in on one stock at a time, and the universe was hand-picked from past winners.

Each day near the close it picks the strongest leveraged sector fund (semis, tech, banks, energy, bonds, dollar) — or parks in cash when nothing is working.

Managed: Position size shrinks automatically when markets get wild; switches only when a new leader is clearly stronger.

Risk: High — leveraged funds move ~3x the market, partly offset by the volatility sizing.

A machine-learning model, retrained monthly, estimates which mega-cap stock will beat the Nasdaq over the next week — and holds the most confident pick.

Managed: When no pick clears its confidence bar it simply holds the Nasdaq fund instead.

Risk: Moderate — concentrated in one mega-cap, but defaults to the index when unsure.

Reads each mega-cap tech stock’s "market weather" — fractal trend persistence, crash-tail risk, volatility mispricing — and buys a call or put only when a classic setup agrees with the regime.

Managed: Holds options 2-6 weeks with a hard stop, a big take-profit, and automatic exits when the regime turns dangerous; idle cash rides the Nasdaq fund.

Risk: High — buys single options that can expire worthless; every position is small and stop-protected.

A daily rulebook: in bull markets it holds triple-leveraged Nasdaq (TQQQ) and rotates into volatility (UVXY) when the market overheats; in bear markets it buys washed-out dips in leveraged tech or parks in short-term bonds.

Managed: One position at a time, re-decided every day near the close.

Risk: High — leveraged and volatility funds move violently; the $10k book is the fence.

Once a month it takes the 50 biggest US companies and buys the 5 with the strongest 12-month run, equal-weighted.

Managed: Rebalanced monthly; the classic academic momentum recipe.

Risk: Moderate — diversified across 5 mega-caps, no leverage.

Across ~80 AI-infrastructure stocks (chips, networking, power, cooling), it holds only the top 5% by 6-month momentum.

Managed: Re-checked daily near the close; drops anything that loses its momentum rank.

Risk: High — a handful of names in one hot theme.

A daily rulebook on the Nasdaq: when it looks euphoric (very overbought) it steps aside into T-bills or even bets against it; when it is washed-out and oversold it buys triple-leveraged Nasdaq (TQQQ); otherwise it rides 2x Nasdaq (QLD) while the long-term trend is up.

Managed: One position at a time, re-decided every day; capped at its own $5k book.

Risk: High — uses leveraged Nasdaq funds that move 2-3x the market.

A monthly "HedgeFundie"-style barbell: it ranks stocks, long bonds, the dollar and commodities by recent strength and holds the strongest two — leaning more on the calmer of them — or hides in T-bills when everything is falling.

Managed: Rebalanced monthly; uses leveraged stock/bond funds (UPRO/TMF) when those lead.

Risk: High — leveraged when risk-on, but diversified across four very different assets.

Holds a managed-futures trend-following fund (KMLM) while it is in an uptrend — the rare strategy that tends to MAKE money when stocks crash — and sits in T-bills when its trend breaks.

Managed: Checked monthly against its 100-day trend line; this is the crisis-hedge book.

Risk: Moderate — unleveraged and genuinely uncorrelated with the leveraged-tech bets.

Splits the book across stocks, long Treasuries and gold, giving the most weight to whichever has been the calmest — three assets that rarely crash together.

Managed: Rebalanced monthly; its job is to DAMPEN the whole sleeve’s swings, not to shoot the lights out.

Risk: Low — diversified, unleveraged, deliberately steady.

Ranks the eleven S&P 500 sectors by 3-month strength and holds the top two, equal-weighted — or moves to T-bills if both leaders are falling.

Managed: Rebalanced monthly; unleveraged sector ETFs, diversified away from a single index.

Risk: Moderate — two sectors at a time, no leverage.

The deliberate long shot: once a day it buys a same-day-expiry S&P 500 option in whichever direction the market is already moving (calls when green, puts when red), a small fixed $2.5k bet for an outsized payoff.

Managed: Takes profit at +120%, and always sells and goes flat by 3:50pm — never held to expiry. Most days lose the whole ticket; that is the bet.

Risk: Very high — by design most days are a total loss, sized so a losing streak can’t dent the sleeve.

In an uptrending market, sells a defined-risk S&P put spread and collects premium.

Managed: Closes at a profit target or flattens before the close each day.

Risk: Moderate — capped loss; only fires in friendly conditions.

Sells a bullish put spread on the index to collect premium as it decays.

Managed: Defined risk; daily loss limit and cooldown guard it.

Risk: Moderate — loss per trade is capped.

Sells both sides of the index, betting it stays in a range.

Managed: Capped risk; managed to a target or the close.

Risk: Moderate — defined loss either side.

Buys a single index option in the direction the market internals are pointing.

Managed: A debit trade; held to the end of the day to capture the full trend.

Risk: Moderate — limited to the premium paid.

Same entry as the Directional Day-Trade, but with a profit lock: once a big gain builds, it refuses to give more than half of it back.

Managed: Runs side-by-side with v1 so the two exit styles can be compared on live trades.

Risk: Moderate — limited to the premium paid; large gains are protected.

Same trade, but reads the whole market — roughly a thousand stocks — instead of a 30-name sample to decide if it is a true trend day.

Managed: Runs side-by-side with v1/v2; includes the v2 profit lock.

Risk: Moderate — limited to the premium paid; large gains are protected.

On a confirmed trend day, instead of the index it buys options on the two stocks moving hardest WITH the trend — the names already down (or up) the most keep going more often than the index does.

Managed: Two names, not one, to survive a single-stock bounce; v2 profit lock plus a hard close before the bell.

Risk: Moderate — limited to the premium paid; single stocks move harder both ways.

The exact same trades as v4, but buying the at-the-money option instead of a cheaper out-of-the-money one — a live experiment to settle which strike earns more per dollar.

Managed: Mirrors v4 entry-for-entry and exit-for-exit; only the strike differs, so the performance gap measures the strike choice itself.

Risk: Moderate — limited to the premium paid; should win more often than v4 but in smaller multiples.

Waits until 3:30pm: if the market is already up or down 2%+ with the S&P agreeing, big trend days tend to finish in the same direction (~70% historically) — it rides just the final 25 minutes with one deep in-the-money option.

Managed: One contract, once a day at most (~14 signals a year); buys at 3:30pm, sells at 3:55pm, never holds overnight.

Risk: Moderate — limited to the premium of a single contract; rare by design.
