About
A tactical swing strategy in 3x tech/Nasdaq/semis: buy deep dips, short sharp rips, and sit in T‑bills between. Uses an overbought/oversold gauge (RSI) and volatility filters (SPY/QQQ/VIX). Very high risk due to leverage and vol ETPs.
It waits for extremes, then switches. When tech/Nasdaq/semis look washed out, it buys 3x bull funds (TECL, TQQQ, SOXL; sometimes SVXY, which benefits when fear drops). When they look too hot (very high RSI—a 0–100 “heat” gauge of how stretched a move is—or big 1‑day jumps), it buys 3x bear funds (TECS, SQQQ, SOXS, SPXU) or UVXY (benefits from fear spikes). If no clear edge, it holds T‑bills (BIL). Extra filters use SPY/QQQ vol and VIX to scale in/out. High risk.
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~2.46 vs SPY ~2.30, and far lower drawdowns (~2.18% vs ~5.07%). Calmar ~5.60. This leveraged tech/semis swing strategy delivers stronger risk-adjusted returns and steadier gains than the S&P 500.
