About
Daily, trend-and-momentum rules. Mostly rides TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) in uptrends; shifts to UVXY if things look too hot. In downtrends, plays oversold bounces (TECL/UPRO) or rotates to SQQQ or TLT by strength. Very aggressive; big swings.
Daily rules use two gauges: trend (price vs 200‑day average) and short‑term “heat” (10‑day RSI = recent buying vs selling). If the S&P 500 is in an uptrend, hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) unless heat is extreme; then switch to UVXY (volatility). If not in an uptrend, try oversold bounces via TECL (3x tech) or UPRO (3x S&P). If no bounce, hold SQQQ (‑3x Nasdaq) or TLT (Treasuries)—whichever is stronger. Uses leveraged funds; swings are large.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~54.6% vs SPY ~18.1%, with Calmar ~1.09 and Sharpe ~0.99. Positive alpha and tech-led upside, though drawdowns are larger—strong growth potential with disciplined risk management vs the S&P 500.
