About
A daily, rules-based switch among Nasdaq (QQQ/QLD), cash-like T‑Bills (BIL), and volatility (VIXY) using QQQ’s short‑term hot/cold reading and the S&P 500’s trend. Buys 2x Nasdaq when washed out, hedges with cash/vol when overheated.
Every day it checks two things about the stock market:
1) QQQ’s short‑term “heat” score (RSI: a 0–100 hot/cold gauge based on recent up vs down days). If QQQ is very hot (>~79), it goes defensive: half in T‑Bills (BIL), half in market volatility (VIXY). If very cold (<~29.5), it goes aggressive: 100% 2x Nasdaq (QLD).
2) Otherwise, it looks at the S&P 500 trend (SPY vs its 200‑day/30‑day averages). If SPY is healthy, it holds QQQ; if SPY is weak, it parks in BIL.
Out-of-sample this strategy shows higher upside and strong risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: ~34% annualized vs ~27% for SPY, Calmar ~4.36, Sharpe ~2.13, with a max drawdown around 7.9% (SPY ~5.1%).
