About
A very aggressive daily trading system that swings between leveraged tech, volatility hedges, and defensive diversifiers based on whether markets look overheated, oversold, or led by semiconductors.
This strategy checks the market every day for signs it is either too hot, too weak, or healthy.
If many stock indexes look overheated, it buys UVXY, a fund that usually rises when fear spikes.
If tech has fallen hard, it buys leveraged tech funds for a rebound.
Otherwise, it compares semiconductors (SMH) with a more defensive stock fund (FTLS): if chips are stronger, it buys TQQQ; if not, it rotates into steadier diversifiers like managed futures, the U.S. dollar, hedged stocks, bonds, or volatility funds.
Smart, risk-aware strategy that beats SPY on risk-adjusted terms: ~69% annualized out-of-sample return, Sharpe ~1.20, Calmar ~2.25. Captures big upside with hedges and tactical rotations—higher drawdown risk but stronger long-run potential.
