About
Owns the 5 hottest large Nasdaq stocks (80%) and keeps a 20% hedge that rises when the Nasdaq falls (PSQ). If short-term 'overheated' signals flash (via RSI on QQQE/FAS), it switches into UVXY, which tends to surge when volatility spikes.
1) It first asks: are markets 'too hot'? It uses RSI (a 0-100 speedometer of recent gains; ~80+ = overheated) on two gauges: QQQE (equal-weight Nasdaq-100) and FAS (a 3x financials fund). If yes, it moves fully into UVXY, a fund that typically jumps when volatility spikes and stocks drop. 2) If not, it buys the 5 Nasdaq leaders with the best recent returns (80% total, split evenly). 3) It keeps 20% in PSQ, which moves opposite the Nasdaq-100, as a hedge.
Out-of-sample edge: ~115.65% annualized return, Sharpe ~4.74, Calmar ~26, max drawdown ~4.39%, vs S&P ~22.78% return with ~5% drawdown. Nasdaq momentum core with a 20% PSQ hedge and UVXY volatility overlay.
