About
A daily, tech‑tilted swing strategy. It shifts among mega‑cap stocks, Nasdaq ETFs, T‑bills, and volatility using simple “overbought/oversold” gauges, then picks 1–2 laggard/volatile versions across many lookbacks. Very aggressive due to leveraged/inverse funds.
Think of RSI as a 0–100 speedometer of recent moves: 80+ = very hot; ~30 = washed out.
- If QQQ/SPY look “too hot” (RSI>80), move to defense: VXX (volatility) or BIL (T‑bills).
- If Nasdaq is very oversold (TQQQ RSI<31), buy QLD (2x Nasdaq).
- Else, if bonds (IEF) look steadier than short‑Nasdaq (PSQ), own one big tech stock (MSFT/AMZN/GOOG/AAPL/TSLA). If not, hold 50/50 FNGD (3x inverse FANG+) + QLD.
- It runs many lookbacks (1–10 weeks) and picks 1–2 laggard/volatile versions. Rebalances daily.
Tech-tilted, rules-based rotation aiming to beat SPY. Out-of-sample: ~21.84% annualized return vs 21.51% for SPY, with beta ~0.92 and built-in hedges. Diversified upside potential; bear markets may see larger drawdowns.
