The Californer/10354147

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- During the 23-year period, a $10,000 starting value grew to $2,455,275 for the strategy versus $116,729 for SPY.

Time in Market was 99.3%, indicating near-continuous market exposure. Full-window volatility was 19.5% versus 18.7% for SPY.

Maximum drawdown was -28.9% versus -55.2% for SPY. Drawdowns nevertheless remained a meaningful source of risk.

In SPY up years, BTS Strength Zones produced 30.7% filtered CAGR versus 17.1% for SPY. Across the three SPY down years—2008, 2018 and 2022—the strategy produced 5.0% filtered CAGR versus -21.0% for SPY. Positive compounded performance across those selected down years does not imply that losses were avoided within each year.

BTS Strength Zones beat SPY on CAGR in 95.9% of rolling three-year windows and all rolling five-year windows. The strategy's worst rolling CAGR was 6.1% over three years and 11.9% over five years.

The model applies published BTS Strength Zones to a fixed universe of 49 industry ETFs. A portfolio-level VIX 50/35 regime controls entry. Entered ETFs are equal-weighted at target-decision events and held through the scheduled end of each BTS Strength Zone. When no BTS Strength Zone is entered, the portfolio holds SPY while the regime is ON and SHY while it is OFF.
