The idea

A bot that spreads your money across stocks, bonds, gold, and commodities, then shifts weight toward winners and away from losers.

This strategy spreads your exposure across four key asset classes — stocks, bonds, gold, and commodities — so no single market can derail your portfolio on its own. But it doesn't just hold everything equally and hope for the best. It actively tilts toward whichever assets are showing strength and pulls back from those that are struggling, letting the market itself guide where the weight goes. Think of it like a crew of four rowers: when one gets tired, the others pick up the slack — but if one is on a hot streak, they get to row a little harder. It trades both sides of the market where appropriate, making it versatile across different economic climates — rising rates, inflation spikes, equity rallies, or risk-off selloffs. The personality here is calm and methodical, not reactive or jumpy. It's built for investors who want diversification with a pulse — not a static buy-and-hold that just rides everything down together.

Design

How it works

Automatically balances four different asset types
Moves money to stronger performers each day
Stays calm and methodical, not reactive
Works in different economic conditions

Conditions

Where it works, and where it doesn't

Every strategy is built for a particular kind of market. These are the conditions this one is designed around — and the ones it is not.

Built for

When one or two asset classes are clearly outperforming others
During steady, gradual market moves (not sudden shocks)
When bonds and stocks move in different directions
During periods of moderate market activity

Not built for

When everything crashes at the same time (no safe haven)
During sudden market shocks or panic selling
When all four asset classes move together in same direction
During extreme volatility with whipsaw price swings

The Simulation Lab

Ten bad markets, before your money is in one.

Almost anything looks good in a rising market. That is not a test. So we put the strategies listed here through the same ten bad markets, and this one has been through them. They are stretches of real market history, with names and dates: the 2022 slump, the COVID crash, a year that went nowhere. We picked them before this strategy existed.

Two of them are below. Each one shows our drawing of what that market looked like, and the rules this strategy follows when a market like it turns up. None of this is a score. What actually happened to the strategy is in your dashboard, not on this page.

When markets fall

The 2022 Slump

A full year of falling prices as interest rates shot up.

Index: Nasdaq 100
The real dates: 3 Jan – 30 Dec 2022
What the index did: fell 33%
How we run it: Real trading days

A full year of lower highs as the Federal Reserve raised rates from near zero to over 4%. Four separate rallies of 10% or more along the way, every one of which failed.

When markets go nowhere

The Wild Swings of Late 2022

Violent rallies and sharp drops, ending roughly flat.

How we run it: Real trading days

Essentially flat over six months, but by way of a 17% summer rally, a 17% autumn decline, and a 14% year-end rally. The destination was nowhere; the journey was violent.

A market that ends where it started still charges you for every trade made inside it. This is where the cost of trading adds up fastest. That is why it sits in the set right next to the crash.

When markets go nowhere

When Tech Handed Over to Oil

Yesterday’s winners became 2022’s losers.

These ten are the whole set. We picked them for the damage they did — the fastest crash on record, a year that went nowhere, a grind that punished every rally — not for how they make anything look.

8 of these 10 can run on the real trading days of the time they name. We model the other 2 — The Bull Run of 2016–17 and The Year That Went Nowhere. A strategy needs a stretch of history to warm up on before a test starts, and our price data does not go back far enough to give these that. So we built stand-ins that behave like those years, rather than replays of them. A modelled market is not a forecast, and it is not what would have happened. The shapes drawn above are our models of those markets — never this strategy — and they have no scale. The dates and index moves next to each one are the real figures for the period it is modelled on. Nothing on this page says how any strategy did in these tests.
