About
A very aggressive daily trading strategy that flips among bullish or bearish bets on major tech stocks, sometimes hiding in T-bills or a volatility fund when markets look extreme.
This strategy makes a fresh decision every day.
It watches big tech and first asks: is the market overheated, panicky, or washed out? If overheated, it hides in either a volatility bet or short-term T-bills. If tech looks beaten down, it buys a leveraged tech fund. Otherwise, it picks bullish or bearish funds tied to NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, GOOGL, AAPL, or TSLA.
It then compares several recent time windows and keeps the ones that have been working best lately.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~55% vs SPY ~20%; leverages mega-cap tech momentum with tactical hedges. Higher drawdowns (~57%) and beta (~2.16) mean it’s for risk-tolerant investors chasing strong upside, not a simple core holding.
