About
Switches between 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ), 3x long Treasuries (TMF), cash-like T‑bills (SHV), and occasional VIXY/3x Tech (TECL) based on bond-vs-cash momentum, overbought/oversold signals, and simple trend checks. Aims to ride trends and step aside when weak.
Daily, it first asks: have broad bonds (BND) beaten T‑bills (BIL) over ~60 days? If yes, go 100% TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100). If not, use a bond/vol engine: buy VIXY when stocks look extremely hot (RSI>80), favor TMF (3x long Treasuries) when oversold or trending, buy TECL (3x Tech) only on deep tech selloffs, or sit in SHV (T‑bills).
Out-of-sample: ~25.5% annualized return vs SPY ~19.6%, using dynamic TQQQ/TECL, TMF, VIXY and SHV. Higher upside in uptrends, with larger drawdowns in stressed markets; hedges help but risk remains higher than SPY.
