About
When Nasdaq‑100 is healthy, pile into the recent winners among a small set of tech‑infrastructure stocks, heavily overweighting the top name. If the market or key gate stocks weaken, that chunk moves to T‑bills. Daily, rules‑based risk‑on/off control.
It looks for strength in a short list of “tech infrastructure” stocks (chips, optical networking, energy hardware). It only buys them when the tech market (QQQ, the Nasdaq‑100) is above its 200‑day average. Then it splits money into three slices and buys the recent top 1, top 2, and top 3 performers. Each slice only turns on if a “gate” stock (Lumentum/LITE, Tower/TSEM, Camtek/CAMT) is also rising; otherwise that slice parks in BIL (T‑bills). Rebalanced daily.
Risk‑managed tech‑infra momentum strategy. In rallies it targets top performers, then shifts to T‑bills to cap losses. OOS Calmar ~13.5, max drawdown ~7%, Sharpe ~1.3, alpha vs S&P, and low/negative SPX beta for diversification.
