About
A daily strategy that flips between JEPQ (income-focused big tech exposure) and PSQ (profits when Nasdaq falls), based on whether the market looks overheated, oversold, calm, or risky.
This strategy checks the market every day and chooses between just two funds:
• JEPQ: a milder, income-focused way to own big Nasdaq stocks like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia
• PSQ: a fund that goes up when the Nasdaq-100 goes down
It uses “market temperature” signals like whether stocks look overheated, beaten down, fearful, or in a weak trend. If tech looks attractive or oversold, it buys JEPQ. If tech looks too hot or risky, it switches to PSQ.
OO annualized return 22.06% vs S&P 21.15%; drawdown 12.84% vs 18.76%; Calmar 1.72; beta ~0.40. A daily regime-driven Nasdaq strategy flipping between JEPQ and PSQ to seek steadier, higher risk-adjusted upside than the S&P.
