About
A short‑term, high‑octane strategy that mostly trades semiconductor ETFs, flipping between 3x bull (SOXL) and 3x bear (SOXS) using a hot/cold gauge (RSI), with macro checks (stocks vs bonds, US dollar) and a small defensive cash/Costco/UNH sleeve.
RSI is a quick “speedometer” of recent ups vs downs (high = hot; low = washed out). Most money rides a chip engine that flips between a 3x bull (SOXL) and 3x bear (SOXS) based on how hot/cold a chip ETF (SOXX) looks. If chips aren’t extreme, it splits into: a USD/commodities sleeve, a stock‑vs‑bond risk sleeve that buys SOXL/SMH or hedges with gold/inverse ETFs, and a small “Meat Shield” that parks in T‑Bills or rotates into Costco/UnitedHealth. Uses short lookbacks; high risk.
Near-SPY upside with a diversified macro-overlay and semiconductor-cycle bets. OOS annualized return ~23.24% vs SPY 23.69%; Calmar ~0.65 and Sharpe ~0.66 provide better risk-adjusted outcomes and diversification in choppy markets.
