Alltime Shield IV

by Ordertune · part of Institutional Alpha

  • Momentum, short only (hedge)
  • Risk elevated

Alltime Shield IV is the most sensitive of the four Shield variants: a short-side hedge on stocks in a medium-term downtrend that reacts early when market uncertainty rises. It aims for frequent, small and fast down-moves in weak names. Short selling needs a margin account at Alpaca.

Daily return series 6 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.
