About
A daily-rebalanced, Nasdaq-led strategy that uses a laddered, momentum-driven stock selection (top 6 groups from 7 mega-cap tech names) with 3x Nasdaq leverage, augmented by RSI- and regime-based hedges (volatility, treasuries, and inverse Nasdaq). The core long tilt activates in a bullish market (SPY above its 200-day average) and is tempered with hedges when markets look overbought or bearish, aiming to capture Nasdaq upside while limiting downside.
- Step 1: Check market regime using SPY vs its 200-day moving average. If SPY is above the 200-day, proceed with Nasdaq momentum tilt; if not, shift toward hedges or bonds.
- Step 2: Build a long Nasdaq tilt by leveraging TQQQ and selecting momentum leaders from a fixed tech universe (TSM, MSFT, AMZN, AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, AMD).
- Step 3: Rank the 7-name universe by 12-day cumulative return. Create six groups where Group 1 takes the top 1, Group 2 top 2, …, Group 6 top 6. Within each group, allocate equal cash to the selected stocks and hold in a diversified ladder.
- Step 4: Use RSI-based tests to time hedges. If RSI signals overbought, add hedges like UVXY (volatility) and TMF (treasuries). If RSI signals oversold, consider a dip-buying path (potentially using TQQQ for rebound exposure and selective hedges like SQQQ depending on momentum).
- Step 5: Rebalance daily so allocations track the latest momentum signals, regime checks, and RSI states.
- Step 6: Monitor performance metrics (drawdown, risk-adjusted return, etc.) and be mindful of leverage risk and liquidity constraints.
Out-of-sample Nasdaq-levered strategy offers higher upside than the S&P with strong risk-adjusted returns: ~72.5% annualized vs ~23%, Sharpe ~1.45, Calmar ~1.95. Note potential for larger drawdowns.
