YXI’s TLT and BTC Quant Signals Deliver A Compounding Edge
For TLT, our backtests indicate that buying TLT when the signal is 1 and shifting to cash when it is 0 could boost daily success rates by about 5% compared to a “Buy and Hold” approach. This edge might compound significantly over time. (These results are based on historical data and may not predict future performance.)
For Bitcoin, our backtests show that buying when the signal is 1 and moving to cash when it is 0 could improve daily success rates by roughly 3% versus “Buy and Hold.” The strategy also exhibits about half the maximum drawdown. (These results are based on historical data and may not predict future performance.)
