About
Aggressive, tech‑heavy, daily strategy: ride uptrends with TQQQ, buy oversold dips, and quickly flip to cash/treasuries or volatility hedges when markets overheat or sell off. Very high risk due to 3× ETFs and crash‑hedge products.
Each day it picks offense or defense. Offense = TQQQ (a 3× Nasdaq‑100 ETF). Defense = cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL), Treasuries (TLT/TMF), or crash hedges (UVXY/SQQQ). Trend check: SPY above its 200‑day average = uptrend, default to TQQQ. Heat gauge (RSI 0–100): very hot (~80) trims risk with UVXY; very cold (~30) buys dips. Big fast falls (~−13% in 6d) trigger a bounce try or parking in BIL/Treasuries. If TQQQ breaks its short‑term trend, switch to SQQQ or TLT—whichever looks stronger.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.35 vs S&P 1.10, Calmar 1.93, and ~103% annualized return with a tech tilt and agile hedges. Higher upside than the S&P, but expect larger drawdowns in severe markets (~53%).
