About
An aggressive, rules‑based bot that rides tech/semis uptrends and buys dips, flips to bear or hedge mixes when trends weaken or volatility spikes, and sometimes moves to cash. Uses 3x ETFs and VIX funds with daily rebalancing; very high risk.
Each day it:
- If a 3x stock fund is very hot (RSI>80), buy UVXY for a quick pullback; if very cold (RSI<30), buy that fund on the dip.
- If VIX is surging, park in T‑Bills (BIL).
- Trend test (stocks vs commodities over 100–600 days): bull → TQQQ + healthcare + SVXY or utilities; bear → SQQQ mix.
- If bonds lead or SPY is below trend, switch to hedges (tech + Treasuries/commodities/gold/dollar). Uses inverse‑vol sizing; rebalances daily.
Key funds: TQQQ, SOXL, SPXL, SQQQ, CURE, UTSL, SVXY, UVXY, TMF/TLT, PDBC/DBC, GLD, USDU/UUP, SH, BTAL, BIL.
Out-of-sample edge: ~41% annualized return vs ~21% for the S&P, higher Sharpe (~1.38 vs ~1.32) and Calmar (~1.84). Tech/semis tilt with dynamic hedges aims for bigger upside with disciplined risk.
