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 edge: ~69% annualized return vs ~19% for SPY, with Sharpe ~1.15 and Calmar ~1.38. Captures tech upside while risk-managing with cash/treasury defense—higher upside, but potential drawdowns ~50% in stress.
