About
Dividend-focused, rule-based strategy that tilts between JEPI income, leveraged tech bets (TECL/QQQ/TQQQ/SOXL), and volatility hedges (UVIX/TECS) with cash proxies (BIL) guided by RSI momentum on QQQ.
This strategy aims to generate income from JEPI and supplement it with tactical bets based on momentum signals. It watches QQQ (a tech-heavy index) and measures momentum with RSI using several lookback periods (10, 20, 30, 60, 200 days). When RSI readings cross thresholds, the strategy shifts among groups of investments:
- JEPI-focused groups to boost dividend income.
- Hedged/volatility groups (UVIX and TECS) to protect against sharp market moves when momentum looks overbought.
- Leveraged tech bulls (TECL, TQQQ, SOXL) to participate in tech rallies when momentum is favorable.
- Cash-like ballast (BIL and other short-duration Treasuries) when risk is high or uncertainty is elevated.
Allocation is expressed through fixed weights within each branch (for example, 100% in a leaf, or 70/30 split across leaves), and the overall strategy appears as nested blocks where some blocks carry higher weights (e.g., 70/100) and others lower (e.g., 10/100). The result is a dividend-centric portfolio that can tilt toward hedges during high volatility and toward leveraged tech exposure during strong momentum, always anchored by JEPI for income and cash-like safety when conditions deteriorate. Note: this involves leveraged ETFs which can magnify losses and should be used with a clear risk tolerance and monitoring plan.
Out-of-sample: aims for JEPI income, hedged tech bets, and disciplined risk controls. Returns ~45.7% annually vs SPY ~23.2%; Calmar ~1.91; solid risk-adjusted upside with hedges and cash ballast.
