About
Buys the 5 hottest Nasdaq‑100 stocks (80%) and keeps a 20% short Nasdaq hedge. If the market looks extremely overheated by fast‑moving gauges (QQQE or FAS), it flips entirely into a volatility fund (UVXY). High potential, very high risk.
1) Check if the Nasdaq‑100 (measured equally via QQQE) looks “overheated” using a quick up/down meter (RSI). If very high, go 100% into a volatility spike fund (UVXY).
2) If not, check a fast risk‑on gauge (FAS). If very hot, also go 100% UVXY.
3) Otherwise, buy the 5 best‑performing Nasdaq‑100 stocks (80%) and keep a 20% short Nasdaq hedge (PSQ).
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~4.74 vs ~1.91 for the S&P, annualized return ~116% vs ~23%, and drawdown ~4.4% vs ~5.1%. Nasdaq momentum with a disciplined volatility hedge offers far stronger risk-adjusted gains and resilience.
