About

Sit in T-bills until QQQ looks extremely overbought (10-day RSI > 80). Then rotate into inverse, leveraged tech/semiconductor funds—and sometimes a volatility bet—chosen by recent strength and volatility, aiming to catch a pullback.
NutHow it works
1) It watches QQQ (a big tech index fund). If QQQ's 10-day RSI - a 0-100 hotness gauge of recent buying - goes above 80 (very hot/overbought), it expects a pullback. 2) Then it buys a mix of bearish, leveraged tech funds: TECS (-3x tech), SQQQ (-3x Nasdaq-100), SOXS (-3x semis) and sometimes UVXY (bet on volatility). It picks the strongest over 5/10/15 days by recent move, volatility and RSI, and splits money across them. 3) Otherwise it parks in BIL (T-bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy caps drawdown (~5.22%) and delivers strong risk-adjusted performance (Calmar ~1.61) by timing leveraged inverse tech bets when QQQ overbought. It stays primarily in Treasuries, offering a hedge vs S&P drawdowns.
