About
High-octane, rule-based rotation that chases strength in tech/semis and energy, mean-reverts gold/silver, hedges with dollar/bonds, and times bitcoin. Signals use simple “heat” and trend checks. Very high risk due to 2×/3× and inverse ETFs.
It’s a fast, rules-based trader. It checks if markets are “hot” or “cold” using two simple tools: RSI (a 0–100 heat gauge; >70 = overheated, <30 = washed-out) and trends (price above/below its recent average).
• If stocks look strong (and bonds agree), it buys high-growth tech/semis (3× funds like SOXL/TECL, or 2× QQQ: QLD).
• If stocks look weak or too hot, it flips to hedges/shorts (SOXS/TECS/SARK/UVXY) or short-term Treasuries (BIL/SHY).
• Satellites: gold/silver snap-back trades (GLD/SLV with 2× bull/bear funds), an energy trend sleeve (XLE/ERX/ERY), a U.S. dollar hedge (USDU when the dollar rises), and a bitcoin sleeve that shorts when overheated (BITI) or holds the recent winner among BITO/MSTR/COIN.
Uses 2×/3× and inverse funds—expect big swings and frequent shifts.
Out-of-sample, this strategy stacks bigger upside with solid risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P. OOS return ~37% vs ~21%; Calmar ~1.30. Drawdowns are higher, but broad sleeves (tech, energy, metals, crypto) aim for stronger long-run growth.
