About
A daily-tuned, momentum-driven plan that uses RSI and short-term price signals to switch between TQQQ (bullish Nasdaq exposure), SQQQ/UVXY (hedges), and BIL (cash), aiming to buy dips and hedge rallies in Nasdaq-100 movements.
- The strategy watches Nasdaq-related assets: QQQ (broad Nasdaq-100 proxy), TQQQ (3x leveraged long Nasdaq), SQQQ (3x leveraged inverse Nasdaq), UVXY (volatility proxy), and a cash-like slot (BIL). A daily rebalance updates positions based on short-term momentum and price action.
- Momentum gate: it uses RSI over a 10-period window on QQQ and sometimes on the Nasdaq proxies to gauge whether recent moves are overbought or oversold. Very roughly, very high RSI hints at overbought conditions; very low RSI hints at oversold conditions. These RSI readings influence whether the system favors a bullish tilt (more TQQQ) or a hedged/safe tilt (SQQQ/UVXY or BIL).
- Price action gate: it also compares the current price to a short-term moving average (an EMA with a small window). If the price is rising above the short-term average, the system may favor the bullish side; if the price is dropping below, it may favor hedges or defensive bets.
- Dip vs rip logic: “Buy the dip” signals tend to push TQQQ exposure when the market has recently fallen and momentum looks supportive of a rebound. “Sell the rip” signals tend to push hedges (SQQQ/UVXY) when the market has rallied and momentum suggests a pullback may occur.
- Symphonic cash: the bottom slot lets you substitute any cash-like ETF you prefer (BIL is the default). This is used to blend in a cash position when signals favor reducing Nasdaq exposure or staying neutral.
- Outcome: a dynamic, daily-tweaked exposure to leveraged Nasdaq bets, with hedges and cash as needed to cap risk during momentum extremes.
Dynamic Nasdaq-timing strategy tilting daily among leveraged longs, hedges, and cash to buy dips and hedge rallies. Out-of-sample return ~16.94% (Sharpe ~0.58) vs S&P ~19.34% (Sharpe ~1.16)—a Nasdaq-focused diversification to complement the S&P.
