About
Aggressive market-timing centered on TQQQ. Keeps 20% cash and adds 20% Bitcoin in uptrends or 20% 3× Gold in downtrends. The core 60% flips among TQQQ, SQQQ, or VXX using moving-average trend and short-term RSI (hot/overbought vs cold/oversold).
1) Check if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 150-day average. If yes: hold 20% Bitcoin (GBTC); if not: hold 20% 3× Gold (SHNY). Keep 20% cash. 2) The main 60%: If SPY > 200-day avg, hold 3× Nasdaq (TQQQ) unless it’s “too hot” (RSI(10)>~80), then use VXX (a fear gauge). If SPY <= 200-day avg, switch among TQQQ, 3× inverse Nasdaq (SQQQ) or GBTC using short-term RSI and TQQQ’s 20-day average. RSI=0–100 speedometer; >70 hot, <30 cold.
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher upside than the S&P 500: ~42.4% annualized vs 29.8%, with a 20% cash buffer and hedges (Bitcoin or 3x gold) for diversification. Calmar ~1.85 signals strong long-run risk-adjusted gains, despite larger drawdowns.
