About
A fast, rule‑based offense/defense system. In uptrends it rides high‑momentum tech and small‑cap funds (often 3×). When markets look overheated or weak, it flips to cash/bonds, inverse ETFs, or volatility hedges. Very high risk.
Checks if the S&P 500 is in an uptrend (above its long‑term average). If yes, it goes on offense: buys fast‑moving growth funds, mainly tech/semis (often 3× like TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). If things look “too hot” (RSI = a simple too‑hot/too‑cold gauge), it briefly buys volatility (UVXY/VIXY) as a hedge. If the trend is weak or fear high, it moves to cash‑like BIL, bonds, BTAL, or inverse funds (SQQQ/TECS). It also runs small snap‑back trades after big 5‑day moves and uses SMH vs KMLM (a trend‑following managed‑futures fund) to pick risk‑on/off.
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~24.5% annualized returns vs the S&P’s ~17.6%, powered by agile momentum in tech and small caps, plus disciplined hedges (cash/bonds/short-vol) when risk rises. Higher upside with proactive risk control.
