A daily-rebalanced, rule-based strategy using 3x leveraged ETFs focused on semiconductors and tech, selecting the top recent performers while applying volatility and momentum filters, with cash or hedges when risk signals are high. High risk, high potential reward.

What it is: a rule-based, daily-rebalanced portfolio that uses 3x leveraged ETFs to pursue growth in the tech/semiconductor area, with hedges and cash when risk signals are weak. It looks at recent performance and risk signals to decide what to own. How it chooses assets: it monitors a small group of ETFs that ride the big tech and market indices (long and inverse/protected versions). Each day it ranks candidates by how much they’ve gained recently, then picks the top 2 or 3 to hold. It also uses filters to avoid assets that are too volatile or overbought. What it can hold: Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x (SOXL), ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ), Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3x (SPXL) for long exposure; Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x (SOXS), ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (SQQQ), Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3x (SPXS) for hedging; and occasional Treasury-related levered ETFs (TMV, TMF) as risk hedges. How it decides how much to hold: a nested set of rules compares volatility, momentum (RSI and return calculations), and drawdowns against predefined thresholds. If conditions pass (lower volatility, healthy momentum, not overly drawn down), it invests in the top performers. If not, it moves to cash or hedges. What you should know: this is a high-risk approach with leverage, frequent trading, and a bias toward tech/semis. It’s not suitable for conservators and should be used with caution and proper risk capital.

Out-of-sample: tech/semiconductor strategy targets higher risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P 500—Sharpe ~1.54, Calmar ~3.25, ~171% annualized vs ~24% for SPY—daily leverage with hedges to manage risk.
