About
Daily, rules-based rotation. Holds either: 50/50 T‑bills and gold, QQQ (Nasdaq‑100), or 3× QQQ (TQQQ). It decides using simple recent‑strength checks across preferreds, corporate bonds, tech, and managed futures. TQQQ is high risk.
RSI = a short-term “recent strength” score (0–100) from ~2 weeks; higher = stronger. Each day it compares pairs and picks one holding:
- If preferred-stock funds trail big U.S. stocks: 50% BIL (T‑bills) + 50% GLD (gold).
- If preferreds lead but the leveraged one lags: 100% QQQ.
- If both preferred tests pass but corporate bonds lag: 100% BIL.
- If all pass: if a managed‑futures fund (KMLM) is weaker than Tech (XLK) ⇒ 100% TQQQ; else ⇒ 100% BIL.
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return 37.8% vs 22.8%, Sharpe 2.19 vs 1.90, Calmar 3.89, alpha ~0.295, beta ~0.185. Drawdown higher (~9.7% vs 5.1%), but superior risk-adjusted gains from a tech-driven, rules-based rotation.
