About
A daily, contrarian swing strategy: buy 3x S&P 500/Nasdaq/semiconductor funds after sharp dips, sit in T‑Bills otherwise, and flip to UVXY when markets look overheated—aiming for quick pops but with very high risk.
Your money is split equally into 3 sleeves: S&P 500 (SPXL), Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ), and Semiconductors (SOXL). Each day it scores the last 10 days on a 0–100 “heat” scale (RSI): >80 = very hot, <30 = very cold.
- If SPXL/TQQQ are very hot, that sleeve buys UVXY (often jumps when stocks drop).
- If very cold, it buys the 3x bull fund (SPXL/TQQQ or SOXL).
- Otherwise it sits in BIL (T‑Bills).
Out-of-sample edge: 23.3% vs 21.3% for SPY, Calmar ~0.96. Higher drawdowns (24.2% vs 18.8%) but potential for larger growth from dip-buying in 3x ETFs and volatility plays beyond the S&P 500.
