About
Rules-based swing strategy: rides Nasdaq uptrends with TQQQ, but when readings get red‑hot it shifts to S&P 500 or long‑volatility; in downtrends it buys oversold bounces or rotates into Treasuries or short Nasdaq based on recent strength.
1) Trend filter: If TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) is above its 200‑day average it’s “risk‑on”; else “risk‑off”. RSI (a 0–100 “heat gauge” of recent up/down days) guides entries.
Risk‑on: If QQQ’s RSI is extremely hot, rotate to UVIX/UVXY (long volatility) or VOO (plain S&P 500). If not, hold TQQQ.
Risk‑off: Buy oversold bounces via TECL/UPRO when RSI < ~31. If no bounce, either TQQQ if short‑term recovers, or whichever is stronger of TLT (Treasuries) or SQQQ (short Nasdaq).
Out-of-sample, this rules-based strategy delivers dramatic upside vs SPY with Calmar 4.58 and 144.6% annualized return, but accepts larger drawdowns. Suited for risk-tolerant investors seeking strong upside capture.
