About
A daily, tactical “thermometer” strategy: short-term overbought → bet on volatility (UVXY); deeply oversold tech → buy 3x tech (TECL); otherwise use a bond-vs‑inverse‑Nasdaq regime check to own TSLA only in an uptrend, or sit in cash (SHV).
Each day:
- If QQQ’s 10‑day RSI > 80 → buy UVXY (volatility).
- Else if SPY’s 10‑day RSI > 80 → buy UVXY.
- Else if TQQQ’s 10‑day RSI < 31 → buy TECL (3x tech).
- Else compare 20‑day RSI: IEF vs PSQ.
• If IEF > PSQ and TSLA’s EMA(8) > SMA(21) → buy TSLA.
• Otherwise → hold SHV (cash-like T‑bills).
RSI: 0–100 heat meter; EMA/SMA: short/long price averages.
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: Sharpe ~1.49 vs ~1.18, Calmar ~2.45, and ~95% annualized return vs ~20% for SPY. It blends volatility timing, tech rebounds, and cash discipline for bigger upside with controlled risk.
