A tactical QQQ strategy that buys volatility hedges when markets look overstretched and otherwise rides tech. Uses QQQ/TQQQ (long), VIXY/UVXY (vol), PSQ (inverse QQQ), SPLV/BTAL (defense), and BIL/IEF (cash/Treasuries).

Goal: ride big tech when the tape is calm; hedge or profit from pullbacks when it gets “too hot.” It watches a 0–100 “heat meter” (RSI). Very high readings on SPY/QQQ/sectors trigger buys of volatility funds (VIXY/UVXY) and/or T‑Bills (BIL). Otherwise it holds QQQ/TQQQ. If tech drops quickly or volatility spikes, it shifts toward hedges (PSQ, BTAL, SPLV) and cash. Position sizes adapt to recent volatility; Treasuries (IEF) guide risk‑on vs defense.

Out-of-sample: ~79% annualized vs SPY ~24%; Calmar ~6.94; Sharpe ~1.67 vs SPY ~1.87. A tech‑tilted strategy that rides rallies, hedges with volatility assets to front-run pullbacks, but carries higher drawdowns (~11.4% vs ~3%).
