About
Daily TQQQ strategy using trend (200‑day avg) and “heat” (10‑day RSI). Uptrends: hold TQQQ; if too hot, shift to VOO or UVXY/UVIX. Downtrends: buy oversold bounces (TECL/UPRO) or defend with SQQQ or TLT. Very high risk.
Uses two dials: trend and heat.
- Trend: If SPY is above its 200‑day average (uptrend), hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) unless short‑term “heat” (10‑day RSI) is very high; then shift 0–100% into VOO (S&P 500) or split UVXY/UVIX (leveraged VIX) to hedge a pullback.
- If SPY is below that average, buy oversold bounces with TECL (3x Tech) or UPRO (3x S&P). If not oversold, rotate to the stronger of SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq) or TLT (long Treasuries); otherwise TQQQ. Rebalances daily. RSI is a 0–100 “hot/cold” score.
Out-of-sample return: ~14.37% vs S&P 8.96%; aims for higher upside in trends with tactical hedges. Note higher risk: volatility and drawdowns larger (~33.6% vs ~4.5%), but potential for stronger long-term growth with disciplined risk control.
