About
Daily tactical strategy: hedge when markets look overheated, buy leveraged tech/semis/S&P on sharp dips, and otherwise choose between all‑in tech (if semis lead) or a low‑vol basket (bonds, volatility, dollar, managed futures). High risk.
RSI is a short‑term “too hot/too cold” score (0–100).
Daily: 1) If many stock/sector funds look “too hot” (>~80), buy a short‑term fear hedge (UVXY). 2) If they look “too cold” (<~30 or sharp drops), buy aggressive dip plays (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/SPXL) or briefly sit in bonds (BSV). 3) Otherwise, if chip stocks (SMH) look stronger than a hedged stock fund (FTLS), go tech (TQQQ); if not, split among calmer assets (TMF/TMV, SVXY/VIXM, FTLS, KMLM, UUP).
Out-of-sample edge: 21.22% annualized return vs 17.07% SPY, with added alpha and a diversified hedge/rotational approach. Seeks higher upside in tech and dips while using volatility/trend diversifiers to dampen risk - though drawdowns can be larger.
