About
A short‑term, rules‑based swing strategy using RSI. It fades overheated markets with volatility hedges, buys big dips in 3x stock ETFs, and flips between offense and defense via a Tech‑vs‑Managed‑Futures check. High risk/volatility.
It watches a 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 “heat” gauge). When big indexes are ultra‑hot, it either bets on a snap‑back with volatility funds (UVIX/VIXY) or parks in VOO/BIL.
If not, it buys sharp dips in 3x ETFs (TQQQ, SPXL, LABU). If no dip, it compares Tech (XLK) vs KMLM: if Tech wins, buy the two weakest of TECL/SOXL/SVIX; else hold SQQQ or TLT (whichever is stronger). Equal‑weight when 2 picks.
Out-of-sample tested, this RSI-based tactical strategy delivers far stronger risk-adjusted performance vs the S&P 500 (Sharpe ~3.51 vs ~0.12; strong alpha/calmar), with outsized upside but higher drawdowns in stressed markets.
