About
A daily, rules-based plan that flips between leveraged plays on semiconductors or the S&P 500, a volatility fund, or T‑bills. It uses a fast Nasdaq gauge and simple signals (overbought/oversold, trend, bond risk) to decide when to go risk‑on or hide in cash-like T‑bills.
Each day it reads a “heat gauge” from TQQQ (a very fast Nasdaq-100 fund). If ultra‑hot, it briefly bets against chip stocks (SOXS). If recently crashed, it may buy volatility (UVXY) or buy chip stocks (SOXL) if oversold/calm; else it parks in T‑bills (BIL). In normal times, if trend is up it uses a 4x S&P 500 note (SPYU); if trend/risk tests fail, it stays in T‑bills. Signals: overbought/oversold (RSI), trend (25‑day average), drawdowns, bond strength.
Dynamic, rules-based tactical strategy offering regime-aware alpha via fast tech/volatility signals and T-bill hedges. Out-of-sample return ~15.3%, diversification beyond the S&P, with upside in regimes where the S&P stalls.
