About
A high-risk, daily-rebalanced strategy that uses 3x leveraged Nasdaq/Tech ETFs (and some hedges) guided by short-term momentum and volatility signals, with a dip-buying subset to target Nasdaq exposures while managing risk through UVXY/SQQQ. Extremely aggressive and backtested.
- What it aims to do: chase big upside in Nasdaq/tech with 3x leveraged ETFs, while trying to protect against big drops using volatility hedges and inverse ETFs.
- How it picks what to own: every day, it runs a set of momentum and risk checks. It looks at short-term momentum (RSI over 10 days), recent price moves, and whether the market shows signs of stress (via UVXY/inverse QQQ signals and 200-day price comparisons).
- How it allocates: when signals look favorable, it concentrates on a small group of Nasdaq/tech levered ETFs (for example TQQQ, TECL, UPRO, SPXL) and often assigns full weight to one asset or to a top-3 dip-pick group. When risk signals fire, it shifts toward hedges (UVXY, SQQQ) or cash to reduce net exposure.
- How it decides “the dips”: a cluster labeled “A Better QQQ” uses a ranking of assets by momentum (RSI-based) over about 40 days and selects the three weakest (the ones showing the most recent support) to potentially buy and hold as a dip strategy.
- How it rebalances: daily. The rules are evaluated anew each day, so the portfolio can swing between aggressive long leverage and hedged/cash positions based on the latest signals.
- Key caveats: triple-leveraged ETFs amplify both gains and losses, and the specific backtested numbers (e.g., high historical returns) depend on assumptions in the data and may not repeat. This is a high-risk approach intended for informed investors.
Out-of-sample, this Nasdaq/tech strategy using 3x leveraged ETFs with hedges aims for far higher upside (≈63% annualized) than the S&P 500 (≈23%), with solid risk controls. Note: leverage magnifies drawdowns; risk discipline is built in.
