About
High‑octane, contrarian switcher: if markets look overheated (10‑day RSI ≳80), go 100% to UVXY (volatility). Otherwise split across Nasdaq, semis, and tech using 3× ETFs—short after big rallies, long otherwise. Very high risk.
Step 1: If any big index/sector looks overheated on a 10‑day “heat” gauge (RSI; 0–100; high=overheated), move 100% into UVXY—a fund that jumps when market fear/volatility spikes.
Step 2: Otherwise, split into 3 parts: Nasdaq‑100, semiconductors, and tech. After unusually big recent gains, bet against them with 3× inverse funds (SQQQ, SOXS, TECS); if not, ride them with 3× long funds (TQQQ, SOXL, TECL).
Out-of-sample edge: ~59% annualized return vs ~18% for the S&P 500, Calmar ~0.95. Higher volatility and ~62% max drawdown, but with strong upside potential and risk-managed hedging via volatility spikes and 3× tech leverages.
