About
Mostly owns QQQ (big US tech) when market trends up or QQQ looks washed out; otherwise steps aside into a bond fund (VBF). Checks signals daily. Heavy tech exposure with a bonds fallback in weak markets.
What the funds are: QQQ = a fund of the biggest Nasdaq tech‑driven companies. SPY = a broad US stock market fund used as the market thermometer. VBF = a bond fund for safety.
Indicators: A moving average is the recent average price (short > long = uptrend). RSI is a 0–100 “heat” score of recent ups vs downs; below 30 = washed out.
Daily rules: If SPY’s 21‑day avg > 210‑day avg, hold QQQ. Else if QQQ’s RSI(10) < 30, hold QQQ. Else if SPY > its 31‑day avg, hold QQQ. Otherwise hold VBF.
Tech-led strategy aiming higher growth with disciplined risk. OOS return ~32.6% vs S&P 26.5%; Calmar ~2.73 (stronger risk-adjusted drawdown). Expect larger drawdowns (~12%), offset by bond safety when signals turn weak.
