About
A high‑risk, one‑position, tech‑tilted timer. It uses TQQQ’s 200‑day trend and short‑term RSI “heat” to switch among TQQQ/QQQ/SQQQ, jump to UVXY when markets look too hot, and sometimes park in TLT—aiming to ride trends and fade extremes.
Uses TQQQ (3x NASDAQ‑100) vs its 200‑day avg to set regime: above=uptrend, below=downtrend. RSI is a 0–100 “heat” gauge of recent moves.
Uptrend: if things look red‑hot, flip to UVXY (volatility spike ETF); if only warm, drop to QQQ; else stay in TQQQ.
Downtrend: buy deep dips in TECL/UPRO; otherwise pick SQQQ (3x inverse QQQ) or TLT (Treasuries) based on which is stronger.
Out-of-sample, this strategy posts ~77% annualized returns vs ~24% for SPY, with Calmar ~2.61 and Sharpe ~1.23—delivering far stronger upside potential with solid risk‑adjusted performance (watch for bigger drawdowns in down markets).
