About
An ultra‑aggressive, daily strategy that mostly rides and flips chip/tech ETFs (often 3x) using simple “hot/cold” readings and rate cues, hedging with volatility or inverse funds when markets look overheated or shaky. High risk, big swings.
It’s a fast, daily‑traded plan that mostly rides chip/tech funds, then flips or hedges when signals say markets are “too hot” or “too cold.”
- RSI = a 0–100 heat meter of recent price moves
- If hot: hedge or buy volatility (UVXY/VIXY)
- If cold and rates friendly: buy 3x bulls (SOXL/TQQQ/TECL)
- If cold and rates unfriendly: use 3x bears (SQQQ/SOXS)
- Small rate (TMF/TMV) and commodity/currency tilts
- 80% core, plus 10% VIX sleeve and 10% TQQQ sleeve
- Very high risk
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for far higher upside than the S&P: ~55% annualized return with Calmar ~1.40. Expect higher volatility and drawdowns (~39%), but with hedging and regime-driven leverage to exploit tech leadership.
