About
Owns leveraged tech for growth, but auto-hedges with inverse QQQ, Treasuries, and VIX funds when markets overheat or break trend. Adds a bond-momentum sleeve and small volatility/short-SPY trades to reduce big drawdowns.
Core: ride the Nasdaq-100 uptrend with TQQQ/QLD (leveraged tech). If trends weaken or get “too hot,” it hedges: flips to PSQ (inverse QQQ), parks in short Treasuries (SHV/SHY), or buys VIX funds (VIXY/UVXY). A bond sleeve switches between TMF (long 20+yr Treasuries) and TMV (short) by momentum. Two small sleeves trade volatility (SVXY/VIXY) and sometimes short the S&P 500. Rules use moving averages and “hot/cold” readings (RSI).
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.09 vs 0.92, Calmar 1.54, alpha ~0.12, and 42% annualized return vs SPY’s ~16.8%. Dynamic hedges (inverse QQQ, VIX, bonds) aim to protect drawdowns while capturing Nasdaq upside.
