About
Own a simple stock mix when the market trends up. After a sharp weekly drop, “buy the dip” with 3x ETFs on weak days and step back to mostly bonds + a small unlevered slice after big one‑day bounces. Focus: tech, semis, small caps, S&P 500.
1) Check SPY (S&P 500) last 5 days. If not down >5%: if SPY is up over ~200 days, hold equal QQQ (big tech), SMH (chipmakers), IWM (small caps), SPY; otherwise hold BSV (short‑term bonds).
2) If down >5%: for each sleeve (QQQ/SPY/SMH/IWM) use 3x ETFs (TQQQ/UPRO/SOXL/URTY) on weak days; after a +2% daily pop, switch to 75% BSV + 25% of that unlevered ETF. Rebalances daily.
Out-of-sample annualized return 27.75% vs SPY 22.08%, with a disciplined dip-buy/trend approach across tech, semis and small caps. Stronger compounding potential, but larger drawdowns (35.7% vs 18.8%), and risk-adjusted edge (Calmar ~0.78).
