About
A fast-switching plan: mostly own TQQQ in uptrends, buy deeply oversold dips, and quickly move to T‑Bills or volatility/short ETFs when markets overheat, plunge, or bond/yield‑curve signals flag danger.
Core idea: ride uptrends with TQQQ (3x Nasdaq); buy sharp dips; step aside or hedge fast in stress. 25‑day average = trend; RSI(10d) = “hot/cold” meter (low=oversold buys, very high=hedge). If drops are extreme, go to UVXY/PSQ or T‑Bills (BIL). It also reads bonds (IEF vs TLT, BND vs SPY) to de‑risk when the yield curve/ bonds warn.
Out-of-sample edge: 27.6% annualized return vs SPY’s 21.9%, with Calmar 0.56 signaling favorable risk-adjusted upside. It blends trend-following, dip-buying, and fast hedges. Note: drawdowns can be larger (≈49%) than SPY.
