Alltime Shield II

by Ordertune · part of Institutional Alpha

  • Momentum, short only (hedge)
  • Risk elevated

Alltime Shield II is a short-side hedge that presses relative weakness when markets turn uncertain. Like Shield I it shorts stocks in a medium-term downtrend when market fear rises, but it is built to stay in for a larger down-move. Short selling needs a margin account at Alpaca.

Daily return series 10 Jan 2000 to 3 Nov 2026, supplied by the provider. Data before 3 Jan 2000 is a backtest: simulated results are a hypothesis, not a promise. Past performance does not predict future returns. Your own results depend on your position sizes, fills and costs.
