About
A daily, tactical, tech‑centric strategy. Uses bond trends (LQD) to decide risk‑on/off, a short‑term “heat score” (RSI) to spot overbought/oversold, and volatility spikes (UVXY). Rotates among 3x ETFs (TQQQ/TECL/SPXL), UVXY, SQQQ, or BSV. Very aggressive; can swing fast.
Step 1: Check if LQD (investment‑grade corporate bonds) is above its 200‑day average price. That’s the “risk barometer.”
• If yes: hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) unless a short‑term “heat score” (RSI, 0–100) says stocks are very hot; then briefly hold UVXY (a volatility spike fund).
• If no: buy big dips with TECL (3x Tech) or SPXL (3x S&P 500) when RSI is very low; otherwise either hold UVXY during volatility spikes, return to TQQQ if bonds perk up (20‑day average), or sit defensive in SQQQ (3x inverse Nasdaq‑100) or BSV (short‑term bonds).
Out-of-sample: ~27.5% annualized vs 20.3% for the S&P, but with larger drawdowns and higher volatility. It rides 3x tech during rallies while using bond timing to manage risk—best for growth-focused, risk-tolerant investors.
