About
Rules-based, trend-first plan: ride tech/S&P strength, cap overheated semis (SOXL), and hedge with UVXY when markets look “too hot.” If the trend weakens, it shifts to a defensive sleeve plus a momentum sleeve that can go long or short.
Step 1: Is the S&P 500 in a healthy uptrend? If yes, ride fast movers in tech/S&P—unless a short‑term “too hot” gauge (RSI) flashes, then hedge with a volatility fund (UVXY) or stay cautious. If the trend weakens, split between defensive assets and momentum (long or short).
Key funds: TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, SOXL=3x semis, UPRO=3x S&P; UVXY=volatility hedge; SQQQ/SPXU/SOXS=shorts; TMF/TMV=3x long/short Treasuries; UUP=dollar; SPLV=low‑vol; BIL=T‑bills.
Regime-driven, rules-based strategy using hedges and momentum shifts to diversify beyond the S&P 500 and curb downside in volatile markets. Note: out-of-sample results show negative returns and large drawdowns, signaling high risk and hedging reliance.
