About
A fast, rules-based strategy that buys deep tech dips, fades sharp one‑day rips, and switches between aggressive tech bets and a defensive SCHD+vol/short mix using fear (VIX) and bonds‑vs‑tech strength as guides. High risk; uses leveraged/inverse ETFs.
It’s a rules-based rotation that watches:
- RSI (0–100 heat gauge; <30 = washed out, >80 = hot)
- How jumpy prices are (volatility)
- Whether bonds are stronger than big tech
Moves:
- After big tech drops, buy the dip; if a 1‑day rebound >5.5%, fade it with shorts.
- If fear/vol spikes, do the same.
- Otherwise go risk‑on (long tech) or defensive (SCHD + hedges) based on bonds vs tech.
ETFs: TQQQ/TECL=3x long tech; SQQQ/TECS=3x short; SVXY/UVXY/VIXM=fear; SCHD=dividends.
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers strong risk-adjusted returns: Sharpe ~1.26, Calmar ~1.48, max drawdown ~11.6% vs SPY ~18.8%, and beta ~0.31. It exploits tech upside with downside protection, outperforming on risk-adjusted terms.
