About
Ride tech uptrends with TQQQ; when the market looks too hot, park in bonds and a volatility hedge. In downtrends, hold 70% short‑term bonds and use 30% to tactically buy oversold rebounds or go short (SQQQ) until strength returns.
1) If SPY > its 200‑day avg (uptrend), hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq). If very hot (10‑day RSI: TQQQ>79 or SPXL>80), switch to 50% BSV (short bonds) + 50% UVXY (volatility).
2) If SPY ≤ 200‑day avg (downtrend), keep 70% BSV. Use 30% to: buy rebounds (TECL if TQQQ RSI<31; else SPXL if SPY RSI<30); otherwise follow short‑term trend (TQQQ if >20‑day avg; else pick stronger of SQQQ or BSV). RSI=0–100 heat score.
Out-of-sample edge: ~66.6% annualized return with a 1.30 Sharpe and 1.61 Calmar, outperforming the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted basis. Tech-leveraged upside with hedges/bonds captures big gains while dampening risk—though crash drawdowns can exceed SPY.
