About
A tactical “buy the dip, fade the rip” strategy. After big run-ups it moves into fear/volatility funds; after sharp selloffs it buys 2x–3x stock funds. If nothing’s extreme, it follows the S&P 500’s trend and toggles between Nasdaq long/short or Treasuries.
It’s a one-position, rules-based swing system. It first asks: are stocks/sectors “too hot” on a short-term 0–100 heat score (RSI)? If yes, it buys a volatility/fear fund that tends to rise when stocks fall. If they’re “too cold,” it buys 2x–3x bull funds in tech/semis/S&P/biotech. If nothing’s extreme, it checks the S&P 500’s 200-day trend and holds a 3x Nasdaq bull, an inverse Nasdaq fund, or long Treasuries. Uses high-risk ETFs.
Compared with the S&P, this strategy targets much higher upside: ~43% annualized out-of-sample returns vs ~17%. Calmar ~0.80 signals solid risk-adjusted return, but expect higher volatility and drawdowns (up to ~54%) from leverage and timing.
