About
An aggressive “tech‑trend rider” that uses momentum and trend signals to load up on 2x Nasdaq/S&P in uptrends, then flips fast to inverse tech or a defensive anti‑beta hedge when momentum fades or volatility spikes.
- In simple terms, it’s an “autopilot” that rides big tech-led uptrends hard and slams on the brakes fast when trouble shows up.
- When the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are trending up, it usually owns QLD (a fund that targets 2x the daily move of the Nasdaq‑100) or SSO (2x S&P 500).
- If warning signs appear (prices slipping below key averages, momentum cooling, or volatility spiking), it quickly flips to QID (which goes up when the Nasdaq falls) or to BTAL (a defensive, market‑neutral fund that tends to help when flashy, high‑beta stocks stumble).
- It checks momentum using RSI (a 0–100 “how hot or cold is the move” gauge): roughly, above ~70–80 = very hot; below ~30–35 = very cold. It also compares short‑ vs long‑term RSIs, price vs moving averages (15/50/100/200 days), and recent return vs volatility to confirm “risk‑on” or “risk‑off.”
- A built‑in “Holy Grail” module cross‑checks bonds vs an inverse S&P fund to decide whether to stay bullish (own QLD) or turn bearish (own QID).
- In extreme euphoria, it may prefer BTAL to avoid giving back gains; in deep selloffs, it may short tech (QID).
- It rebalances daily and often concentrates in a single position to move decisively.
Out-of-sample, this aggressive tech-trend strategy shows bigger upside in tech rallies and quicker drawdown control via fast hedges (QID/BTAL) and momentum/volatility filters—aiming for higher returns with lower risk than the S&P 500.
