Review 05/26


After a quiet April, May also remained without any notable movements. Oil and the Nasdaq100 almost balanced each other out: when one went up, the other went down and vice versa. A nice hedge in uncertain times.


Outlook 06/26


The Iran issue seems to be slowly dissolving. Stock markets are rising, gold and oil are continuing to recover. However, we should keep an eye on the rising yields at the long end due to inflation. They are draining liquidity from the capital markets and putting a prospective strain on them. This is accompanied by a significant shift in the portfolio.

As already indicated in recent reports, gold has now finally fallen below the SMA150 after almost 2.5 years and is leaving the portfolio. It will be replaced by the No. 3 asset class with the strongest momentum in the pool: Eurostoxx50.


The allocation for 6/26 is:

2xWTI

3xQQQ

3xEU50


This means that the portfolio is officially in risk-on mode in June.


Report from the 3xGTAA workshop


Lately the comment has been popping up here on Getquin, "I have 3xGTAA as a stability anchor." (@multibagger, you know who I mean!) At first glance, this seems strange given the leveraged nature and associated volatility of the strategy. For Auntie Else with a savings account and Riester contract, the statement is unlikely to apply. An MSCI World ETF saver could also have difficulties with it. After all, 3xGTAA fluctuates roughly as much in a day as MSCI World does in a week. Nevertheless, the statement could make sense.

The point is not so much the volatility of 3xGTAA, but the uncorrelated nature of that volatility to other asset classes. If someone has a portfolio that has some highly correlated assets, e.g. US memory chip stocks, then a certain amount of 3xGTAA can actually lower the overall volatility of the portfolio if the fluctuations are in opposite directions. "Stability anchor" is perhaps not quite the right word here, because an anchor hardly moves or does not move at all. In my opinion, the more appropriate term would be "counterweight". The asset structure of the rest of the portfolio is always decisive for whether a leveraged multi-asset momentum strategy fits into one's own portfolio and, if so, to what weighting. For Auntie Else, 3xGTAA remains a no-go.


Another issue: The "Trader is self-invested" status is displayed on the Wikifolio website. This only means something to a limited extent, as this requires a proven investment of €5,000. To make it clear that this is a bit more for me, I'll share a portfolio statement with the shares I hold.


May the momentum continue to be with you!

Your Epi

Thank you for explaining my approach with the stability anchor. Of course, this is only suitable as a counterweight for a very small number of investors with a very high risk factor.
Have a nice weekend. Looking forward to the next challenge month and hoping for a bit more excitement. Preferably in which your wikis perform better and not my share worse.😉😂

@Multibagger @Epi I disagree here, at least in part.
I have a boring world ETF portfolio as my core and a mini-small satellite with single stock momentum running alongside it.
It is precisely this satellite that I have decided to smooth with 3xGTAA. I want this satellite to be risky and offer high expected returns. So even for "Uncle Edeltraut" with a core satellite approach, this is a very interesting combination for the satellite 😉👍🏼

Thanks @Epi for the update!

@Wealth-Accelerator Consent. You have a clearly defined risk share. Within this, 3xGTAA can make sense.
Aunt Else already drops out at the risk part.

I'm surprised that you ranked the EU50 third and not the MSCI Emerging Markets. Does Europe really have stronger momentum according to your analysis, or do you simply have no more EM in the pool?

@schade As far as I know, there is no EM in the pool because China is not suitable for momentum.

@Wealth-Accelerator And no leveraged ex-China ETF is available.

@schade See the two answers.

Thank you! 👍😁

@Epi That makes sense. Interestingly, China is now only in third place in the MSCI EM because Taiwan and Korea have performed so strongly. As a result, the momentum score in my list is three times that of the EU50, which would be the perfect scenario for a 3x EM ex-China.

It's quite easy to deal with volatility. I deleted it from the milestone getquin overview 😂
Admittedly not for vola. More for mental separation. But the nice side effect is that I'm not concerned with the results of a strategy that currently has no impact for me.

@Epi I trusted you even without your depo overview. You proll:)))) wanted to impress me a bit :)))) you don't get me that easily

@Jogilein If I had wanted you! 😅

I just wanted to prove what I keep saying. An attempt to show the transparency I would like to see from others.

Thank you for your vote of confidence. 🥰

@Epi If oil is declining due to the looming easing, why are you still including it?
1
image de profil
@Anakreon A rule is a rule. Momentum is still strong and the price is above the SMA150.

@Epi Respect, that really is iron discipline. For me, oil was also in second place, but I actively decided against it. I'm worried that I'm investing in a falling knife.

I'm going with 3x S&P500, Nasdaq and Eu50 (+ a double net in the money market).

I see the momentum is there and the equity markets will breathe a sigh of relief after a (slow and piecemeal) easing in the Middle East.

And yes, I know 😉 I'm deviating from the model. I'll just justify this with the ignorance of a beginner 😜

But I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, your contributions have given me an incredible amount of insight and new ways of thinking.

@Anakreon the relaxation has been over for the last two hours

@Solitair @Epi absolute. Badly aged in my estimation. But it's nice to see that the regularity has its justification after all - I vow to do better.

I have also limited the same type of asset allocation to a maximum of 2 as a rule. I'm in three equity ETFs this month.

@Anakreon The problem of sometimes being invested 100% leveraged in highly correlated equity ETFs should be kept in mind when building a model so that you are not suddenly forced to introduce any random additional rules.

3xGTAA does not have this problem, it only has two equity ETFs in the pool. For the reasons above. 👍

@Epi I have 4 asset classes, each with several ETFs (asset 1: equity ETFs, for example 3xSPP500, 3xNasdaq100, 3xDax, 3xEuroStoxc, 3xTopix etc) and only the top 2 from each asset class will be included in the final ranking (from now on). So I get 8 ETFs from 4 assets as a ranking with score.

However, if no ETF passes the top 2 screening in the analysis within the asset classes, a money market ETF takes its place in the ranking. This way, I can be sure that one or even all three places will be occupied by money market ETFs in the future if the market is not currently offering them.

As you can see, I'm learning ;)

@Anakreon Very good. Have you backtested the new rule? Rules often fail to deliver what they promise in other areas.
image de profil
@Epi yes, among other things, I had April 2025 (customs shock) simulated, where my system would have gone into gold, short bonds and the money market
image de profil
@Epi Hello Epi. I am currently testing and searching a lot in the 3GTAA Universium and have come up with the idea of including all 3xShort ETFs in the pool. However, it is very complex and difficult to define the parameters. Do you have any experience or have you already calculated something similar? Kind regards
1

@Anakreon The question of short ETFs comes up again and again. And rightly so.

Unfortunately, models with short ETFs do not work well. This is due to the asymmetric vola, i.e. down phases are much faster and more abrupt than up phases. If you add short ETFs to the model, then the down and up vola should be symmetrical. This is approximately the case with BTC and bonds. It might be worth looking for suitable parameters.
Good luck and report back when you have found patterns. 👍

Again this month, please remember to add the corresponding ticker so that it is also assigned to the value in the forum.

Everyone knows by now that you hold one of the largest shares in the wiki. 🤷🏼‍♂️
I beat 3xGTAA in May. 😂

@TradingHase I have often said what I think, but never proved it. Strictly speaking, you only believed it. The proof is an attempt to be as transparent as I would like other managers to be. 🤷

Congrats for hitting, it wasn't hard in May. Consistency counts. 😬

image de profil
@Epi Yes, if you don't value the manager's word enough, you shouldn't invest.
As soon as performance returns to normal, I'll be looking behind with my strange portfolio anyway 😂

@TradingHase Never simply take the word of a fund manager on his own behalf. Conflicts of interest are inevitable.

But what is "normal performance" for 3xGTAA? If you look at the price trend, you will see that there are always volatility spikes followed by consolidation phases. At the moment we have the latter. So everything is normal. 👍

@Epi This means that I am looking at the annual performance. My goal is to get to 20%. Anything more is a bonus, anything less than 10% I would be disappointed.

@TradingHase 20%pa is also my goal. The difficulty with this goal is guaranteeing consistency. How do you achieve this?

image de profil
@Epi If I could see that in my crystal ball, I'd sell the info. 😂
My humble experience is that you should always question your strategy yourself. The weighting between risk and stable values must be suitable for your own risk appetite and you should try not to get nervous with every market movement, but also not stick to a failed idea until the end.

@TradingHase Well said, hard done...

I try to mix various uncorrelated, high-performance, rule-based strategies in such a way that the optimal Sharpe ratio emerges.

I don't think many people make it that complicated. 😅

@Epi But some are even more complicated 😂 Have a nice weekend 👍🏼
