About
Daily, rules‑based swing strategy centered on TQQQ: ride Nasdaq uptrends, hedge when overheated, and in downtrends flip between rebound attempts (3× tech/S&P) and defense (inverse Nasdaq or Treasuries). Very high risk.
Each day it checks trend and short‑term “hot/cold” gauges. If the Nasdaq‑100 is above its 200‑day average (uptrend), it holds TQQQ (3× Nasdaq) unless things look overheated—then it briefly moves to UVXY (volatility). If below (downtrend), it either tries quick rebounds with TECL/UPRO (3× tech/S&P) or goes defensive with SQQQ (inverse Nasdaq) or TLT (Treasuries), choosing what looks stronger.
Out-of-sample: Sharpe 1.39 vs 0.99, Calmar 2.78, ~101% annualized return vs ~17% for SPY. Leveraged tech exposure with hedges offers higher upside and better risk-adjusted performance—great for growth-focused investors who can tolerate drawdowns.
