About
A high‑octane, regime‑aware swing strategy: use a 200‑day trend filter and an RSI “heat meter” to buy tech on dips, fade extreme spikes, and, in selloffs, pivot to bonds, USD, or gold miners. Heavy use of 3× leveraged ETFs.
RSI is a 0–100 “heat meter” (high=overheated, low=washed‑out).
1) First, trend: if the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day line, stay risk‑on: usually long 3× Nasdaq (TQQQ). If it gets too hot, briefly flip short (SQQQ) or mix with TIPS (STIP).
2) If below the 200‑day, buy big dips (TECL/UPRO). Otherwise run a buy‑dips/sell‑rips toggle between TQQQ and SQQQ. After sharp drops, rotate to Treasuries (TLT/TMV), T‑bills (SHY/SHV/STIP), US dollar (USDU/UDN), or gold miners (GDX).
Regime-aware, RSI-driven leveraged tech strategy aiming to beat the S&P. OOS return ~72% vs ~22% SPY; Sharpe ~1.26; Calmar ~1.77. Defensive rotations to bonds/USD/gold miners curb crashes, but drawdowns are higher—risk tolerance needed.
