About
A very aggressive, daily-traded strategy centered on leveraged Nasdaq bets, with frequent switches into gold, bonds, cash-like Treasury bills, or inverse Nasdaq funds when market conditions weaken.
This strategy is a daily market-timer built mostly around TQQQ, a fund that tries to deliver 3x the daily move of the Nasdaq-100.
It spends most of its time deciding whether to: 1) own aggressive tech funds like TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, or UPRO, 2) hide in safer assets like Treasury bills, bonds, or gold, or 3) hedge with inverse Nasdaq funds like SQQQ or PSQ when markets look weak.
It uses price trend, recent strength, and recent pullbacks to switch between offense and defense.
Out-of-sample, this dynamic Nasdaq strategy shows ~45% annualized return vs ~20% S&P, with similar risk-adjusted performance (Calmar ~1.46, Sharpe ~1.24) and controlled drawdowns (~31%) via smart defensive rotation.
