About
A daily, rules-based “buy the dip” plan. It parks cash in T‑Bills, scales into 3x equity ETFs (TQQQ, SOXL, SPXL) as they get oversold, and briefly uses UVXY when markets look overheated. Heavy tech/semis tilt; very high risk.
RSI = a 0–100 “heat” score of recent 10‑day moves. Portfolio: 50% TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100), 40% SOXL (3x semis), 10% SPXL (3x S&P 500); idle cash sits in BIL (T‑Bills). Each day: if RSI is very high (≥80) buy UVXY as a crash hedge; if high, stay mostly in BIL; if low, buy the ETF in steps—deeper dips = bigger buys—fully invested near RSI 30. Rebalances daily.
Out-of-sample, this dip-buying strategy targets ~33% annualized returns vs ~20% for the S&P, with a ~1.05 Sharpe and a Calmar ~1.26. Higher growth and solid risk-adjusted profile, though drawdowns can be larger (~26% vs ~19%).
