Backtesting: Hedging by Volatility (Sandbox Version)
Author: Springroll
This System reflects a heading approach using a VIX Future ETF. The goal is to be able to hedge in volatile markets such as 2018, 2020 and 2022. Of course, extremes like the Covid crash are rare. However, the backtest shows that this system triggered as soon as the S&P 500 (SPXL) started to fluctuate.
The instrument traded is VXX. It is still relatively young, so the number of data points are somewhat limited. I've been running this system in my sandbox since the beginning of March 2023, so I will observe it throughout the year.
