About
Daily strategy trading leveraged ETFs on NVDA/MSFT/AMZN/GOOGL/AAPL/TSLA. It picks beaten‑down or volatile names across several lookbacks, then flips bull/bear with a simple risk gauge; hedges with cash or volatility when markets look stretched. Backtest since mid‑Dec ’23.
Each day it:
- Keeps 3 lookback windows (from 14–49 days) that have traded best lately.
- In each, it picks 1 stock theme (NVDA/MSFT/AMZN/GOOGL/AAPL/TSLA) that was weakest/coldest/most volatile.
- For each pick: if market looks too hot (QQQ/SPY), hedge (UVXY or T‑Bills). If tech looks washed‑out (TQQQ), buy 3x tech (TECL). Else go bull/bear on that stock using a simple bond‑vs‑inverse‑Nasdaq “heat” gauge (RSI=0–100).
Tickers: QQQ=Nasdaq‑100, SPY=S&P 500, TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, IEF=7–10Y Treasuries, PSQ=short Nasdaq, UVXY=volatility, BIL=T‑Bills.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~46% vs S&P ~22%, with Calmar ~0.81 and hedged mega-cap tech exposure. Higher upside potential and adaptive risk control—aiming for bigger gains, not just market beta.
