About
Daily, rules-based switches among 3x tech/S&P, cash-like T-bills, long Treasuries, or short tech. It follows the S&P 500’s long-term trend and short-term hot/cold readings to ride strength, buy deep dips, or step aside. High risk.
RSI: 0-100 short-term 'hot/cold' gauge. Uses: TQQQ(3x Nasdaq), SQQQ(3x short Nasdaq), TECL(3x Tech), UPRO/SPXL(3x S&P), TLT(long Treasuries), BIL(T-bills).
1) If SPY > its 200-day avg (uptrend), hold TQQQ unless heat (RSI ~80+ on TQQQ/SPXL) -> BIL.
2) If SPY <= 200-day: buy sharp dips (TECL if TQQQ very cold; UPRO if SPY very cold). If not, and TQQQ < 20-day avg, pick the stronger of SQQQ or TLT; otherwise use SQQQ if very cold, else TQQQ.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~58% vs ~20% for the S&P, with a risk-adjusted edge (Calmar ~1.15, Sharpe ~1.03) from daily, rules-based shifts across tech, Treasuries, and cash. Max drawdown ~50% vs ~19% for the S&P. High-risk, long horizon.
