About
A very aggressive daily trading strategy that uses bond-vs-stock strength and market-stress signals to switch between leveraged bullish bets, bearish hedges, and volatility trades.
This is a fast-moving market-timing strategy that checks conditions every day.
First, it asks: “Has aggressive tech been crashing or suddenly bouncing?” It uses TQQQ (a turbo-charged bet on the Nasdaq) as its warning light. If markets look stressed, it shifts into defensive or hedge-like holdings such as volatility funds, Treasury trades, the U.S. dollar, and lower-volatility stocks.
If markets are calmer, it runs several mini-strategies. Each compares bonds with stock-market benchmarks to judge whether investors seem cautious or optimistic. Based on that reading, it rotates into a small number of very aggressive funds—often leveraged bets on tech, the S&P 500, semiconductors, biotech, small caps, China, or emerging markets—or into bearish funds that profit when those areas fall.
In short: it tries to detect the market’s mood every day, then quickly jump into whichever high-powered funds best fit that mood.
High upside potential with regime-driven, leveraged bets: OOS return 27.7% vs SPY 20.5%. Can beat the index in favorable markets, but comes with higher risk: 54% max drawdown and lower risk-adjusted Sharpe (0.71 vs 1.28).
