About
A tactical, rules‑based switch that buys leveraged tech/semis after sharp drops, shorts them after sharp run‑ups, and otherwise sits in T‑Bills. It scales in gradually and uses volatility “safety brakes.” High risk, highly focused on tech/semis.
It’s a rules-based switch. It scans a few fast‑moving ETFs tied to tech/semis. If they’ve fallen hard recently (low RSI), it buys them; if they’ve run too hot (high RSI), it uses inverse/volatility ETFs to bet on a pullback; otherwise it holds T‑Bills. It scales in with small tranches and adds safety brakes when volatility spikes.
It picks which ETF(s) to use by favoring those that look most stretched over the last 5–15 days (big drop/rise, low/high momentum, low/high recent volatility).
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 2.46 vs SPY 2.30, Calmar 5.60, max drawdown 2.18% vs 5.07%. Tactical levered tech/semis with volatility brakes offers durable upside with far lower downside than the S&P 500.
