About
A high-risk market-timing strategy that mostly bets on leveraged Nasdaq gains, but can switch into volatility funds, Treasury bonds, or bearish Nasdaq bets when conditions change.
This strategy is an aggressive market-timing system built mostly around big U.S. tech stocks.
First, it asks: is the U.S. stock market in a healthy long-term uptrend? It checks this by comparing the S&P 500 (SPY) to its 200-day average price.
If yes, it usually buys Nasdaq funds—often TQQQ, a very aggressive fund that aims for roughly 3x the daily move of the Nasdaq-100. If the market looks too overheated, it may switch part or all of the portfolio into volatility funds like VIXY or UVXY, which tend to rise when fear spikes.
If no, it changes behavior. Sometimes it tries to buy sharp market dips for a rebound using aggressive stock funds like TECL or UPRO. Other times, if the market still looks weak, it chooses between long-term Treasury bonds (TLT) and a fund that rises when the Nasdaq falls (SQQQ).
It relies heavily on RSI, a “speedometer” for recent price moves. High RSI means prices have been rising very quickly; low RSI means they’ve been falling quickly.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~26.8% vs SPY ~19.7%, driven by Nasdaq leverage and tactical regime shifts. Higher upside but larger drawdowns (~47% vs ~19%). Uses volatility hedges and Treasuries to help manage risk for long-horizon, risk-tolerant investors.
