A multi-layer, momentum-and-volatility-tilted strategy that rotates between a tech core, volatility bets, and hedges using many conditional rules—designed for aggressive, active management.

- Start with cash and allocate across several modules instead of a fixed mix. - Overbought rule: when the market (SPY) looks stretched on momentum, the system shifts toward volatility bets (UVXY, VIXY) and may add semiconductor plays (SOXL) or their inverse (SOXS) based on recent strength. - Oversold rule: when signals show deep weakness in SPY/semiconductors and bonds are favorable, the system may rotate into risk assets again or hedge with bonds and USD as appropriate. - Volatility hedge module: uses VIX-related funds and currency/bond proxies to dampen downswings. - Normal Market module: a steadier path if signals aren’t extreme. - A Better QQQ core: selects top tech/semiconductor names (e.g., AMD, AAPL, NVDA, ENPH, TSLA, MU, SMH components) using moving-average performance and relative strength to form a strong tech core. - Selection mechanics: frequently top/bottom picks are chosen with filters (relative strength, moving-average returns, price trends), then weighted (often cash-equal across choices). - No regular calendar rebalancing; changes occur only when the layered rules fire. - Overall objective: capture upside with a bright line between risk-on tech bets and risk-off hedges, while using volatility exposure to profit from volatility spikes. - Risk note: it uses leveraged ETFs and many interdependent signals, which can amplify losses and require active monitoring.

Out-of-sample upside ~60% annualized vs ~24% for the S&P, driven by a dynamic tech/semiconductor core and volatility hedges. Captures big up moves while hedges aim to dampen downside—note higher drawdown risk and leverage.
