About
A daily, all‑in tactical strategy: ride SPXL (3× S&P 500) in uptrends, flip to volatility hedges when things get overheated, use inverse ETFs or bonds in sell‑offs, and rotate into energy/commodities if they take the lead.
Daily checks:
- Trend: If the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average, hold SPXL (3× S&P).
- Heat: A short‑term “hot/cold” gauge (RSI, 0–100). If parts of the market look overheated, switch briefly to fear trades (UVXY/VIXY/VIXM—very volatile, short‑term). If weak/below trend, use bear funds (SQQQ/SOXS) or bonds (TLT).
- If commodities lead (DBC trend), rotate to XLE/DIG/DBC.
One ETF at a time; reviewed daily.
An all‑in daily strategy to beat the S&P 500: ride uptrends with 3× SPXL, hedge with volatility, switch to bonds or inverse ETFs in drawdowns, and rotate to energy/commodities—strong out‑of‑sample upside with calmer drawdowns.
