About
Rules‑based, high‑octane approach: rides tech/semis uptrends with leveraged ETFs, but flips quickly into volatility hedges, inverse funds, or T‑Bills when rallies overheat or markets fall, using simple trend and hot/cold checks.
Rebalanced daily. It:
- Buys fast tech/semis funds when the trend is up (moving‑average = trendline) and not overheated (RSI = hot/cold meter).
- If a rally is too hot or price drops fast (drawdown), it swaps to hedges: UVXY (fear), PFIX (rate hedge), and inverse S&P/Nasdaq.
- If bonds look safer, it parks in T‑Bills (BIL).
- A quick‑react module can scale into shorts during stress.
Out-of-sample edge: ~61.5% annualized return with Calmar ~4.06 and Sharpe ~1.42 vs SPY’s ~28%. Captures tech leadership, hedges spikes quickly, and targets stronger risk-adjusted growth with capital protection.
