A growth-forward, multi-layered strategy: a concentrated tech-growth sleeve (NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, ASML, META, TSM, NFLX, TW, GOOGL, plus QQQ) dominates, with 20% allocated to UVXY as a volatility hedge. Bear/leveraged overlays (TQQQ, SQQQ, PSQ, SPXS, etc.) and momentum-based RSI signals on major indices determine hedge intensity. The goal is to pursue growth while adding hedges when momentum signals are extreme, using a rules-based, non-daily-rebalanced framework.

What this strategy tries to do, in plain language: - Core bet: own a concentrated growth sleeve focused on big tech and growth leaders (NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, ASML, META, TSM, NFLX, TW, GOOGL) plus a broad tech proxy (QQQ). This is the main long exposure. - Hedge the portfolio with UVXY (20% of capital) to profit if volatility jumps and markets sell off. UVXY tends to rise when fear or volatility spikes—acting as a cushion when stocks fall. - Add Bear/Leverage overlays to potentially protect against downturns or to profit from bear moves. This includes using leveraged bull ETFs (like TQQQ) and bear/ inverse ETFs (like SQQQ, PSQ, SPXS) as special-purpose hedges. - Signals drive the mix: use momentum signals (RSI, which measures how overbought or oversold something is) on various references (QQQ, SPY, IOO, XLP, XLF, etc.) over short windows (mostly 10 days, sometimes longer). If the RSI is very high (overbought), the system tilts toward hedges and risk reduction; if not, it favors the growth sleeve. There are many branching rules (Bull vs Bear) that choose which hedges to activate based on these momentums and on other momentum checks (e.g., cumulative returns, moving averages). - No automatic daily rebalance: the model defines weights and hedges, but it may not continuously rebalance every day; decisions are driven by the set of rules and signals. The intent is to combine a growth tilt with a tactical risk management layer that can step in with volatility hedges and bear overlays when momentum is extreme. Important caveat: this is a complex, leverage-heavy approach. The UVXY and leveraged/ inverse ETFs can magnify both gains and losses, and the numerous RSI thresholds add sensitivity to short-term swings. The strategy is best understood as a momentum-tuned growth core with an emergency hedging toolkit rather than a simple long-only growth plan.

Out-of-sample edge: ~33% annualized return vs ~18% for the S&P, Sharpe ~1.26 vs ~1.01, and lower drawdown (14.6% vs 18.8%). A growth core with tactical volatility hedges targets higher growth with downside protection.
