About
Daily rules toggle among TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), SQQQ (−3x), UVXY (volatility), and TLT (Treasuries). A long‑trend filter plus “hot/cold” signals buys dips, fades extremes, and parks in bonds/vol when risk rises.
Tickers: TQQQ=3x Nasdaq; SQQQ=−3x Nasdaq; UVXY=VIX/vol; SPY=S&P500; QQQ=Nasdaq‑100; TLT=long Treasuries. RSI = how hot/cold a move is (0–100; >80 hot, <30 washed out).
Regime: SPY above 200‑day avg = risk‑on; else risk‑off.
Risk‑on: mostly TQQQ; if too hot, use UVXY; after 5‑day drops >6% buy TQQQ unless a sharp bounce flips to SQQQ; if very choppy, use TLT.
Risk‑off: buy deep washes in TQQQ; else use UVXY in stress, or pick SQQQ vs TLT by momentum.
Out-of-sample, this Nasdaq-levered strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted returns: oos Sharpe ~1.43 vs 1.32; oos annualized return ~95% vs 21.7%; Calmar ~1.87; alpha ~0.36%. Higher upside with disciplined risk controls.
