About
An aggressive tech-heavy trading strategy that tries to sidestep overheated markets, buy sharp dips, and switch between Nasdaq, leveraged stock funds, bonds, and volatility hedges.
This strategy checks whether U.S. stocks—especially tech—have moved too far, too fast. It uses RSI, a 0–100 “heat gauge” of recent price moves: high means the market looks overheated, low means it looks beaten up.
If tech or the broad market looks very overheated, it moves into fear/volatility funds. If the market looks sharply sold off, it buys aggressive leveraged stock funds to “buy the dip.” Otherwise, it mainly owns Nasdaq/tech funds, adding more leverage when weakness gets deeper and shifting to bonds or crash hedges when fear rises.
Out-of-sample edge: ~65% annualized return, ~30% max drawdown, Calmar ~2.14 vs SPY ~20% return and ~19% drawdown (Sharpe ~1.25 vs ~1.34). Tech-heavy, tactical hedges target big upside with disciplined risk vs SPY.
