About
A tactical, trend‑aware plan: go defensive when the Nasdaq weakens; otherwise buy 12 short‑term winners that just dipped. The watchlist leans tech/AI/crypto but spans many sectors and some leveraged ETFs, so volatility can be high. Equal‑weight.
1) Guardrail: if QQQ (Nasdaq‑100 ETF) is below its 200‑day trend, hold a defensive mix (T‑Bills/cash‑like funds, buffered S&P funds, convertibles, dividend/low‑vol).
2) If above trend, run a stress check using PSQ (an inverse Nasdaq fund). If stressed, split between that defensive mix and picks.
3) Picks: from a big list, buy 12 names with strong 1‑month gains that just cooled off (low 10‑day RSI, a 0–100 “hot/cold” score). Equal‑weight.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.37 vs SPY 1.32, Calmar 3.16, annualized return ~74% vs ~16%. Trend-based risk controls seek bigger upside by riding leaders while dialing risk in weak markets - aims for higher returns than the S&P 500.
