About
Aggressive, daily QQQ strategy: long TQQQ in normal uptrends, flips to PSQ/UVXY when QQQ is overheated, goes mostly to T‑bills on pullbacks while a 15% sleeve tries to catch volatility spikes; buys TQQQ on deep dips.
Trades the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) using its leveraged/inverse funds to ride uptrends, fade overheated spikes, and buy deep dips.
- TQQQ=3x long; PSQ/SQQQ=inverse; UVXY=rises on fear; BIL/SHV=T‑bills.
- RSI=0–100 heat meter; EMA=short‑term average.
Hot and rising: hold TQQQ; too hot: switch to PSQ/UVXY. Weak and below average: mostly T‑bills; allocate 15% to UVXY only when fear is surging. Very oversold: buy TQQQ.
Dynamic Nasdaq-100 strategy: ride uptrends, fade spikes, add volatility hedge and cash. Out-of-sample: Sharpe ~0.48, Calmar ~0.34 over 440 days. Diversifies and offers tech-led upside potential beyond the S&P with disciplined risk controls.
