About
An aggressive, rules-based swing strategy. It buys dips in leveraged tech during uptrends, hedges when markets run hot, and in downtrends toggles among short Treasuries, inverse/volatility hedges, and occasional macro plays (bonds, USD, gold). Not for set‑and‑forget.
First, check the market trend (is SPY above its long-term average?).
- In uptrends: if things look overheated, hold a hedge (UVXY or SQQQ). Otherwise, buy the more “washed out” of TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) or short‑term TIPS (STIP).
- In downtrends: if tech is very weak, sometimes buy the dip (TECL/TQQQ/SOXL); otherwise favor short Treasuries (SHY/SHV) or hedges (SQQQ/UVXY), and at times use TLT (long bonds), USD (UUP/UDN), or gold (UGL). It uses RSI as a hot/cold gauge and moving averages for trend.
An aggressive, rules-based swing strategy that leverages tech rallies with smart hedges. Out-of-sample it delivers higher risk-adjusted returns and stronger upside than the S&P 500, with active risk controls.
