About
A daily, high-octane rotation around leveraged tech. After sharp QQQ drops, it splits into a crash playbook (cash + volatility or semis) plus a core TQQQ system. Otherwise it rides or briefly fades TQQQ based on trend and short-term overbought/oversold signals.
Daily checks if QQQ fell >5% in 10 days. If yes, split 50/50: a crash sleeve buys BIL (T‑Bills) + UVXY (bet on volatility) when vol is rising, or SOXL (3x semis) if calm; the other half runs the core rules. If no drop, 100% core.
Core: If SPY > 200‑day avg, usually hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq); if it looks overheated (via RSI, a 0–100 momentum gauge), briefly use UVXY. If SPY < 200‑day, rotate among TECL/UPRO (3x tech/S&P), SQQQ (3x inverse Nasdaq) or TLT (long Treasuries) on short‑term swings.
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets far higher upside than the S&P (68.6% vs 20.8% annualized) with solid risk controls (Calmar 1.80, Sharpe ~1.22). A volatility-aware dump-catcher sleeve and tech rotations seek big gains with downside protection.
