About
A daily, rules-based strategy that rides tech/semiconductor rallies with 3x ETFs, and quickly shifts to cash, bonds, volatility hedges, or inverse ETFs when signals say markets are overheated or turning down. High risk but drawdown-aware.
It’s a rulebook that tries to “surf” tech and semiconductor uptrends, then quickly cut risk or go short when markets look hot or weak.
- If the market is in an uptrend (S&P above its long-term trend), buy 3x tech/semis (TQQQ, SOXL).
- If prices look “stretched” up or down (RSI = a speed gauge), sell the rip or buy the dip.
- If trends break or bonds/dollar flash risk, move to T‑bills/bonds or inverse funds (SQQQ/SOXS).
- Uses UVXY (volatility) as a crash hedge.
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.41 vs SPY ~1.37; annualized return ~105% vs SPY ~28%; Calmar ~3.20. A rule-based, 3x tech/semis engine that rides rallies and quickly hedges, delivering higher upside with disciplined risk vs the S&P 500.
