About
A high-risk, daily-rebalanced momentum rotor that shifts into BITO, leveraged tech/biotech plays (TQQQ, LABU), volatility hedges (UVXY), inverse Nasdaq (SQQQ), or short-term bonds (BSV) based on short-term price trends and RSI signals. Uses mega-cap tech basket as a core tech tilt.
The strategy starts with cash. Each day it runs through a set of rules to decide which single instrument to buy (or keep cash). First, it checks if the Bitcoin proxy ETF BITO is in an uptrend (short-term moving averages cross higher). If yes, it buys BITO. If not, it dives into a second, larger branch that looks at tech/biotech and volatility signals. In that branch, it uses momentum (RSI and recent returns) and relative strength to decide among: UVXY (volatility proxy), SQQQ (inverse Nasdaq), LABU (biotech 3x), or a broad tech basket centered on TQQQ and several big tech names (AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, NVDA, etc.). There’s also a defensive option (BSV, a short-term bond ETF) if risk signals are high. In short: the system ages through a ladder of conditions, and when any condition is met, it allocates 100% of capital to the chosen asset for the day. It re-evaluates every day, so exposures can flip quickly between crypto proxy, biotech/tech momentum plays, volatility hedges, inverse tech, and bonds. The approach relies on simple indicators like moving averages and RSI to gauge trend strength and momentum, not fundamentals. It is inherently aggressive due to use of levered ETFs and daily rebalancing, and requires careful risk management and understanding of how these instruments behave in stressed markets.
Momentum-driven, daily rotation into leveraged tech/biotech, crypto proxy, hedges, and bonds. OOS: ~77.5% annual return vs ~22% SPY; Calmar ~1.36; Sharpe ~1.18. Higher upside with discipline; note larger drawdowns in stress.
