About
A daily 50/50 blend: a semiconductor swing trader plus a TQQQ trend rider. It leans into tech in uptrends; when markets overheat or fall, it shifts to Treasuries, volatility (UVXY), or inverse funds (SQQQ/SOXS).
Daily, it splits money 50/50.
1) Semiconductor swing: switches among SOXL (3x semis), SOXS (3x inverse), UVXY (VIX/fear), or BSV (short‑term bonds) using RSI (0–100 hot/cold), short‑term drops, and momentum.
2) TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) trend: when the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average, it mostly holds TQQQ; if overheated or volatile, it hedges with SQQQ, UVXY, or TLT. In downtrends, it parks in SHY/BSV or flips short.
Out-of-sample: annualized return ~104% vs SPY ~22%; Sharpe ~1.47 vs 1.41; Calmar ~1.82; max drawdown ~57% vs ~19%. A tech-tilt, leverage-enabled strategy with dynamic hedges aiming higher upside and solid risk-adjusted gains.
