About
A rule‑based on/off switch for TQQQ: buy during healthy trends or washed‑out selloffs, and park in T‑Bills when TQQQ is overheated, volatility spikes, or bond signals flag rate stress. Tech‑heavy, risk‑managed, daily‑checked.
Daily it flips between TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) and BIL (T‑Bills). Buys TQQQ if the Nasdaq trend is up or after sharp drops when it looks washed‑out (RSI = hot/cold score). Stays in cash when it’s overheated, drops are large, or bond signals show stress.
Tickers: TQQQ=growth; BIL=cash; QQQ/SPY=stock trend; BND/IEF/TLT/TMF=bond strength/volatility (rates). Filters: price vs 25‑day average; recent fall from peak (drawdown); 6‑day/1‑day moves.
Out-of-sample edge: ~27.7% annualized return vs ~23.2% for the S&P, with daily risk signals that park you in T-Bills during heat. Captures Nasdaq upside via TQQQ in favorable regimes while defending against regime shifts.
