Umbrella Trading's Macro Regime Portfolio on Autopilot
Umbrella Trading's Macro Regime Portfolio on Autopilot, how it switches between stocks and defense by rule, and how to follow it.
I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. Umbrella Trading's profile says two words: systematic macro. Its Macro Regime Portfolio explains the rest.
Most Portfolios make you pick growth or safety. This one switches between them by rule. Here's how.
One thing first, because we're an SEC-registered investment adviser and I have to say it. Autopilot is the app. The actual investment advice comes from Autopilot Advisers, LLC. If you want the full legal version of anything in here, it's on our disclaimer page.
1) Who they are
Umbrella Trading is an independent Pilot. It creates and manages [Umbrella] Macro Regime, a systematic macro Portfolio.
2) How the Portfolio works
Every week, a model scores 25 ETFs across the major markets on two things: what they pay you to hold them, and which way they're moving. The most money goes behind the highest scores.
A read on the market's overall health, the stock trend confirmed by credit markets, decides whether it leans into stocks or moves to defense in Treasuries, gold, and cash. A daily stop cuts anything that breaks down.
3) What that means in plain terms
For those unaware, this is trend-following with a yield twist. When stocks are climbing, it rides them. When the trend breaks, it steps aside.
Its description says it uses no forecasts and no leverage. It's a rule, applied every week.
4) The risk, said plainly
I want to be honest with you. Any trend rule is late at turning points by design. It can step out after a fall has started, and step back in after a rebound has already happened.
In choppy markets it can switch back and forth, and the daily stop adds trading. The other momentum Portfolios are compared in Is there an app that follows a momentum strategy in my own brokerage?.
5) How following works
Pick the Portfolio, connect the brokerage you already use, and allocate money. You give Autopilot Advisers limited authority to send orders to the account you already have. When the Portfolio changes, we send them and your broker fills them. The money stays put.
A flat cash subscription, not a percentage of your balance. Per our Form CRS dated February 2026, Basic Tier has no Base Advisory and Licensing Fee, and Premium Tier is $29.99 to $199.99 a quarter or $99.99 to $699.99 a year. Pilot subscriptions are separate and add on for each Pilot you subscribe to. Because it's a flat dollar amount, it's a bigger share of a small account than a big one, so do the math at your balance.
TLDR: [Umbrella] Macro Regime, from Umbrella Trading, scores 25 ETFs weekly on yield and trend, backs the strongest, and moves to Treasuries, gold, and cash when a stock-and-credit health check turns negative. It uses no leverage, and like any trend rule it can be late at turning points.

Autopilot does not hold client assets. All investments are held at the brokerage firm you select and connect to Autopilot. Your brokerage firm is responsible for trade execution, custody, and reporting. Autopilot is not responsible for your broker-dealer’s services, fees, or execution quality.
Autopilot’s services depend on technology systems, third-party APIs, and internet connectivity. System outages, API disruptions, or connectivity issues may temporarily affect service availability or trade execution timing.
Client account holdings are designed to track the Portfolio you’ve selected, but your actual holdings and performance may differ from the Portfolio due to execution timing, market conditions, brokerage capacity constraints, fractional share availability, and other factors outside Autopilot’s control.
For Portfolios inspired by publicly disclosed trading activity, there may be a delay between when a Pilot executes a trade and when that trade becomes publicly available and is incorporated into the Portfolio. This timing delay may affect the suitability or performance of trades when executed in client accounts.
Third-Party Pilot Portfolios are created and managed by independent third parties who are not affiliated with Autopilot, are not acting as your investment adviser, and owe you no fiduciary duty. Third-Party Pilots receive a share of the fees attributable to their Portfolios, which creates conflicts of interest for them and for Autopilot, and they may trade the same securities their Portfolios hold. Autopilot may convert a Third-Party Pilot Portfolio to an Autopilot Portfolio at any time.
Trend-following strategies can be late at turning points and may increase turnover. Listing is not an endorsement of a Pilot or strategy. Fee amounts are quoted from Form CRS dated February 2026 and may change.
