About
Daily, buy QQQ only after a sharp drop (RSI≤30). Otherwise, hold one defensive choice—consumer staples (XLP) or an investment‑grade bond fund (VBF)—whichever looks more beaten down. Always 100% in a single fund.
- It watches QQQ (a fund that tracks the Nasdaq‑100: big tech/growth names like Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia). It scores QQQ with a 10‑day “RSI,” a 0–100 gauge of recent ups vs downs; below 30 means it fell fast (oversold).
- If QQQ’s RSI ≤ 30, buy QQQ 100%, aiming for a bounce.
- Otherwise, hold ONE “safer” fund: XLP (consumer‑staples companies like Coca‑Cola, Walmart, P&G) or VBF (an investment‑grade bond fund). Pick whichever has the lower RSI (more recently beaten down).
- Rechecked daily; always 100% in a single fund.
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers superior risk control vs the S&P 500: max drawdown ~7.7% vs 13.7% for SPY, Calmar ~2.45, and beta ~0.57. A safer core with steadier risk-adjusted gains in volatile markets.
