About
A daily, tactical swing strategy for gold‑miner stocks: use an RSI “heat meter” to flip between 3x long miners (GDXU), 3x short miners (GDXD), or cash (BIL), with QQQ and TLT as cross‑checks for when to play offense or sit out.
It watches gold‑miner stocks using a short‑term “heat meter” (RSI, 0–100). If miners look very hot (RSI>79), it bets on a pullback with GDXD (3x fund that rises when miners fall). If very cold (RSI<30), it may buy GDXU (3x fund that rises with miners) if simple momentum checks look supportive; otherwise it parks in BIL (T‑Bills). It also checks QQQ (big‑tech) and TLT (long Treasuries) to choose between cash or a bearish stance. Rebalanced daily.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 3.10 vs SPY 2.14, positive alpha, and a strong Calmar ratio. A tactical, 3x-levered miners strategy aiming for higher risk-adjusted returns across cycles—though it has larger drawdowns than the S&P 500.
