About
A daily, high‑risk switcher among 4× S&P 500, 3× tech, −3× QQQ, volatility (UVXY), or Treasuries. Uses a 200‑day trend filter and a short‑term “heat” gauge (RSI) to chase bounces or hedge when overheated. Expect big swings and decay risk.
Each day it checks if SPY is above its 200‑day average (uptrend) or below (downtrend). Uptrend: hold SPYU (4× S&P 500) unless short‑term “heat” (10‑day RSI, a 0–100 meter) on TQQQ/SPXL is very hot (>~80), then switch to UVXY (volatility). Downtrend: if TQQQ or SPY is very cold (RSI ~<30), bet on a bounce with TECL (3× tech) or SPYU. Otherwise, if TQQQ is under its 20‑day average, pick the stronger of SQQQ (−3× QQQ) or TLT (Treasuries); else use SQQQ.
Out-of-sample: ~62% annualized return vs ~20% for the S&P, with Sharpe ~1.07 and Calmar ~1.27—strong upside with solid risk-adjusted metrics. Drawdowns can be steeper (~49%) in bear markets, but tactical hedges aim to outperform across cycles.
