About
Daily, it rides NASDAQ-100 strength with 2x QLD and buys sharp dips; otherwise it holds one oversold defensive fund (XLP, XLU, or VBF). Uses 50/200-day trend, 20-day returns, and short-term RSI to switch.
Each day it checks the NASDAQ-100 (ticker QQQ). If QQQ’s 50-day average price is above its 200-day and recent 20-day returns are >1%, or if QQQ looks oversold (RSI<30; a short-term gauge of how fast price fell), it buys QLD, a 2x fund tied to QQQ. Otherwise it holds one defensive fund - consumer staples (XLP), utilities (XLU), or a bond fund (VBF) - picking the one that is most oversold. Rebalanced daily.
Systematic, rule-based strategy that leverages NASDAQ-100 strength with 2x QLD and rotates to oversold defensives, offering tech-led upside and diversification beyond the S&P—though it shows higher drawdowns and lower risk-adjusted performance out-of-sample.
