About
A rules-based “offense/defense” switch: ride tech uptrends with leveraged funds, stand aside or hedge when markets look too hot or weak using cash, Treasuries, inverse and volatility ETFs. Signals use moving averages and RSI (a short‑term heat gauge).
Core idea: switch between offense and defense using simple signals.
- Trend: If the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average, it allows risk‑taking; below it, it gets defensive.
- Heat gauge (RSI): high=“hot/overbought” (>~80) → move to cash or buy volatility; low=“cold/oversold” (<~30) → buy leveraged tech (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO).
- Mid‑zone: ride uptrends (e.g., TQQQ if above its 20‑day average) or hold hedges (PSQ/SQQQ), Treasuries, or cash (BIL/SHV). Focus: tech/semis. Very aggressive.
Out-of-sample: ~45.6% annualized return vs ~17.7% S&P; Calmar ~1.05; alpha ~0.078. An offense/defense rule set targets tech upside with hedging, offering much higher upside but larger drawdowns than the S&P.
