About
A daily, rules‑based dip‑buyer in 3x equity ETFs (tech‑heavy). It adds in steps as prices weaken, parks in T‑bills when neutral, and briefly uses UVXY as a pullback hedge when markets look overheated.
Your money is split into 3 sleeves: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) 50%, SPXL (3x S&P 500) 10%, SOXL (3x semiconductors) 40%. Each day it reads a 10‑day “heat score” (RSI, 0–100: low=cold/dip, high=hot). It buys more of that sleeve on dips (bigger buys below 40/35/32.5/30), holds cash (BIL) when neutral, and takes a short‑term hedge with UVXY when things look too hot (RSI ≥ 80). Rebalances daily.
Out-of-sample, this 3x tech/semis dip-buying strategy targets ~33% annual returns vs SPY ~20%, with solid risk-adjusted performance (Calmar ~1.26) and tactical hedges/cash to manage drawdowns.
