About
A daily tactical switcher that buys 3x equity ETFs on sharp dips, flips to long volatility (UVXY) when markets look overheated, and otherwise rides calm periods via short volatility (SVXY), using simple 10‑day RSI and short‑term return checks.
Each day it:
- Buys a 3x equity ETF on deep dips: SOXL (semis), then SPXL (S&P 500), then TQQQ (Nasdaq‑100) if their 10‑day RSI (0–100 ‘too hot/too cold’ gauge) is <30.
- Else, if many market barometers look overheated (high RSI), it buys UVXY (long volatility).
- Else it holds SVXY (short volatility), with a TQQQ drop/bounce check to flip UVXY in stress.
- Rebalances daily.
Out-of-sample edge: ~38.6% annualized return vs SPY 16.1%, Sharpe ~0.78, Calmar ~0.80. 3x-equity dip-buys with volatility timing seek stronger compounding, but note higher drawdowns (~48%).
