About
A trend‑aware, tech‑tilted strategy that toggles between a moderate base mix and aggressive long/short and volatility trades in 3x ETFs, using market trend, bond/tech strength, oversold readings, and big‑move triggers to switch stance.
1) Checks market trend using the S&P 500 vs its 200‑day average (uptrend = offense, downtrend = defense).
2) A quick bond/tech pulse steers to a calmer base mix or a tactical sleeve.
3) “Oversold” tech can trigger rebound buys in 3x funds; huge up/down moves flip to shorting or volatility carry.
Funds used: tech (QQQ/XLK/SMH), 3x bulls (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO), inverse (SQQQ/TECS/SOXS/SPXS/SH), volatility (SVXY=calm; VIXM/UVXY=fear), Treasuries (TLT/IEF).
Out-of-sample return: 26.28% vs SPY 20.07%; Calmar ~1.27. A tech-forward, trend-following strategy with volatility hedges; aims for higher long-run growth with disciplined risk. Drawdowns may be larger, but upside potential is stronger.
