About
A high-risk trading system that jumps between leveraged tech, S&P 500, volatility funds, inverse Nasdaq, and Treasuries based on short-term momentum and market-stress signals.
This strategy is a fast-moving market switcher. It constantly checks whether parts of the market look too hot or too weak based on a short-term “temperature gauge” called RSI, which measures how unusually strong or weak recent price moves have been.
If many areas look overheated, it buys UVXY, a fund that tends to rise when market fear spikes. If fear is already surging, it may hold VIXM (another fear-related fund) or SPXL (a leveraged S&P 500 fund).
If markets instead look washed out, it buys beaten-down growth funds like TECL, SOXL, or SPXL. Otherwise it compares tech strength to KMLM, a managed-futures fund often used as a stress-market benchmark. If tech looks stronger, it buys a high-risk growth/volatility trade; if not, it turns defensive with SQQQ or TLT.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.61 vs S&P 1.04; Calmar 4.60; beta ~0.65. Higher risk-adjusted gains from tactical, regime-switching bets across leveraged tech, volatility, and hedges—offering upside with lower market exposure.
