About
A daily-rebalanced, rule-based strategy that uses TQQQ as the main exposure, with a web of momentum and trend signals plus hedges (UVXY, SQQQ, SHV) and reference assets (QQQ, SPY). It rides bullish NASDAQ-technology momentum when signals align, and steps into hedges or safer assets to reduce risk when signals deteriorate.
- The strategy centers on TQQQ (ProShares UltraPro QQQ), a highly leveraged NASDAQ-100 ETF. It uses a 20-day simple moving average (20d SMA) as a starter gauge: if TQQQ’s price is above this average, the plan leans toward being invested in TQQQ or related bullish tech exposures.
- It rebalance daily, deciding which asset to hold (or cash) based on a bundle of signals. The signals include momentum metrics (like RSI) on TQQQ and related assets, price oscillator indicators, and short-term return trends.
- It also looks at other tickers to hedge or diversify: TECL (tech bulls 3x), SQQQ (inverse QQQ), UVXY (volatility via VIX futures), SHV (short-term Treasuries), SPY (S&P 500), and QQQ itself as reference points.
- When momentum and trend cues look strong, the model can allocate 100% to a bullish vehicle (for example, TQQQ or TECL). When risk indicators flare (for example, rising volatility signals, overbought momentum, or weakness in cross-asset signals), it shifts toward hedging assets (UVXY, SQQQ) or safer assets (SHV) or even cash, reducing exposure.
- The plan includes nested conditions that cross-check multiple signals (e.g., RSI on different time frames, cumulative returns over 1 day, price oscillator readings with cross-asset confirmations). While the internal logic is complex, the practical effect is a disciplined rotation between bullish exposure and defensive/offensive hedges designed to limit drawdowns during stress while trying to capture upside in trending markets.
Offers dramatically higher upside in Nasdaq-tech momentum with disciplined hedging. OOS annualized return ~69% vs S&P ~20%, Sharpe ~1.19, Calmar ~1.38. Expect drawdowns up to ~50% in stress markets.
