About
A daily, all-in tactical strategy: buy the dip in bull markets, hide in gold/dollar during panics, or short stocks in downtrends. Decisions use simple trend lines and a 0–100 hot/cold score (RSI). Uses leveraged ETFs for offense/defense.
Each day it checks trend and “hot/cold” readings to pick one ETF.
- If the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200-day average (a long-term trend line), it buys the most “washed out” of TQQQ, SPXL, or SHY using a 20-day RSI (0–100 hot/cold score; below 30 = oversold).
- If not, it either hides in a mix of gold (GLD) and the US dollar (UUP), buys a dip, or shorts stocks (SQQQ/SPXS) when the downtrend is strong (uses QQQ vs its 20-day average and short-term RSI). Tickers: TQQQ/SPXL=3x long, SQQQ/SPXS=3x short, SHY/BSV=bonds, UUP=dollar, GLD=gold.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~54.7% vs SPY ~23%, Calmar ~1.19, via dynamic leveraged ETF rotation with gold/USD hedges. Aims for strong upside and crisis resilience; but higher drawdowns (~46%) require high risk tolerance.
