About
A daily-rebalanced, rule-based plan mixing a core 3x Nasdaq exposure (TQQQ) with volatility hedges (UVXY/SQQQ) and cash/bond safeguards, guided by RSI and trend rules to ride uptrends while attempting to limit drawdowns.
- Core idea: own TQQQ (a 3x levered bet on Nasdaq) as the main growth engine for the long term.
- Hedging layers: when signals indicate risk, the strategy adds volatility hedges (UVXY; and sometimes SQQQ) to cushion potential drawdowns.
- Safety/safety-net: portions can shift into near-cash or short-duration bonds (BIL, SHY, BSV, TLT, TMF) to reduce risk during stress.
- Signals used: momentum and trend checks, mainly RSI over short windows (e.g., 10–14 days) and price vs moving averages (e.g., current price vs a 200-day average). Some paths also compare the market proxy (SPY/QQQ) against moving-average levels to gauge regime (bullish vs bearish).
- Asset mix: a broad set of tech-leaning and bond/treasury ETFs are used to diversify within the strategy’s risk framework, including other leveraged tech ETFs (UPRO, TECL, SOXL, SPXL) and inverse/volatility vehicles (UVXY, SQQQ).
- Rebalance: daily, with weights adjusted between core risk assets, hedges, and safeties according to the active sub-strategy (e.g., Bull Market, Bear Market, Bearish Reversal).
- Aim: chase prolonged uptrends while trying to curb losses from volatility spikes, accepting higher complexity and potential decay from leveraged positions if markets aren’t trending.
Out-of-sample data shows higher risk-adjusted upside vs the S&P: Calmar 1.41, Sharpe 1.28, annualized return ~65% vs ~22%. Leverage plus dynamic hedging aims for strong trend gains; note drawdowns can be larger in stress.
