About
Trades 3x tech and semiconductor ETFs, often fading overheated moves and switching to UVXY when markets look stretched; otherwise stays long via bull ETFs. Extremely high risk.
It’s a high‑octane, rules‑based trader split into three sleeves: Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ/SQQQ), Semis (SOXL/SOXS), and Tech (TECL/TECS). It uses RSI—a 0–100 “heat meter” of recent buying—to spot when prices look very hot. If SPY/QQQ or key sectors are overheated, it jumps to UVXY (a volatility fund). Otherwise, each sleeve compares short‑ vs longer‑term heat: if heat is rising fast it often flips to the bear ETF; if not, it stays with the bull. Sometimes it parks in T‑bills (BIL).
Out-of-sample edge: 92.6% annualized return with 61.8% max drawdown, Calmar ~1.50 and Sharpe ~1.24 vs S&P's ~17.7% return and 18.8% drawdown. Higher risk-adjusted growth from tech/semis rotation plus volatility hedge.
