About
An RSI35-triggered, volatility-aware equity rotation strategy using TQQQ as the primary lever, with risk controls and a KMLM managed-futures rotation to diversify and reduce drawdown in a rising-rate, high-volatility environment.
What the plan tries to do: beat plain buy-and-hold by using a quick, controlled bet on a leveraged Nasdaq ETF when it dips enough to look ready for a rebound, then back off when risk rises.
Key ideas explained simply:
- RSI35 on TQQQ is a momentum measure that flags buying opportunities a bit earlier if the price has fallen recently. RSI35 means the system treats recent dips as potential rebounds rather than just weakness.
- The strategy runs every trading day and uses a set of signals from other big ETFs (like QQQ, SPY, XLK) and volatility products (UVXY, SVIX, VIX-related funds) to gauge market mood and risk.
- When volatility signals are strong or broad-market indicators look stretched, the system may move toward cash or hedged/alternative exposures to limit losses.
- A special rotation pathway, the KMLM switch, aims to shift a portion of capital into KMLM (a managed-futures ETF) when patterns align, providing diversification away from pure equity moves.
- The whole stack is designed to protect against big downturns (risk controls and max-drawdown checks) while still trying to capture upside in rising-rate environments.
Bottom line: It’s a regime-aware, rule-driven mix of a bullish tilt on dips (via TQQQ RSI35) with volatility-aware hedging and a managed-futures rotation to balance risk and reward.
Regime-aware, risk-controlled leveraged strategy using RSI35 on TQQQ with volatility hedges and KMLM rotation. It offers diversification and downside protection in volatile, rising-rate markets to complement the S&P 500, though out-of-sample results show mixed performance.
