About
Daily, one-ETF rotation: buy XLK on deep Nasdaq dips, JEPI on deep S&P dips, JEPQ when Nasdaq trends up, otherwise BTAL. Uses leveraged ETFs only as signals (RSI(10) and 20-day average) to switch between tech, income, and defensive stances.
Each day it holds one fund:
- If a fast-moving Nasdaq tracker (TQQQ, used only as a “thermometer”) is oversold (10‑day RSI<31 = sharp recent drop), buy XLK (core tech).
- Else if a fast-moving S&P tracker (UPRO) is oversold, buy JEPI (broad US stocks with options income).
- Else if Nasdaq is in an uptrend (price > 20‑day average), buy JEPQ (Nasdaq with options income).
- Else hold BTAL (defensive, market‑neutral).
Low-beta, risk-managed tech/income rotation with hedges. Out-of-sample beta ~0.30 and drawdowns similar to the S&P, plus steady income via JEPI/JEPQ and BTAL defense, delivering smoother volatility with controlled downside versus pure equity.
