About
A daily rule set that toggles among TQQQ, UPRO, SQQQ, TLT, or BIL using TQQQ’s 200‑day trend and a short‑term “hot/cold” gauge (RSI). It rides tech uptrends, steps aside when overheated, and in downtrends either plays quick bounces or shifts to inverse tech or Treasuries.
Each day it looks at TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) versus its 200‑day average to decide “uptrend” or “downtrend.” It also uses a 10‑day RSI, a short‑term “hot/cold” meter from 0–100 (high=too hot, low=too cold). Uptrend: usually hold TQQQ; if things look too hot, sit in BIL (T‑Bills). Downtrend: try quick bounces via TQQQ or UPRO (3x S&P 500) when very cold; otherwise use SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq) or TLT (long Treasuries), whichever looks firmer.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~1.54 vs SPY ~1.16; Calmar ~4.14; annualized return ~117% vs ~21% for the S&P. A regime-aware rotation among leveraged tech, S&P, inverse and bonds seeks higher upside with superior risk-adjusted growth.
