About
Tech‑tilted tactical strategy: rides uptrends with 20–100% in 2x Nasdaq (QLD), takes quick leveraged bounce trades when oversold, and shifts to one defensive sector/bond ETF when trends weaken. Daily rebalanced; uses moving averages and RSI.
Tools used: (1) Moving averages (average price over N days). A short MA above a long MA = uptrend. (2) RSI, a 0–100 gauge of how stretched price is; low=washed out, high=hot.
Logic: If the Nasdaq (QQQ) isn’t in an uptrend, hold one defensive ETF (staples/utilities/health care/bonds). If it is and short‑term is washed out, buy two strong leveraged funds for a bounce. Otherwise keep 20% in QLD (2x Nasdaq) and, using tech vs KMLM (trend‑following) and transports vs S&P checks, put the other 80% in QLD or a defensive ETF. Rebalanced daily.
Out-of-sample edge: ~45.8% annualized return vs ~17.6% for the S&P; Sharpe 3.08 vs 1.73; Calmar 11.1—driven by tech-led uptrends plus a disciplined defensive rotation and daily rebalance. Higher upside with controlled risk vs the S&P.
