About
A daily, leverage-enabled tech momentum strategy: long TQQQ (or TECL) on positive trend signals, hedge with SQQQ/UVXY or move to SHV cash when risk rises, with momentum/RSI and price-oscillator checks and a 200-day trend filter. High risk due to 3x leverage.
- What it trades: primarily TQQQ (3x NASDAQ-100), with TECL (3x tech sector), and hedges SQQQ (3x inverse QQQ) and UVXY (volatility). It can park in SHV (short-term Treasuries) as cash.
- Core ideas in plain terms: it looks for uptrends in tech by checking if TQQQ is above a long-term average and by measuring momentum (RSI and a price-oscillator). If signals are favorable, it increases exposure to TQQQ or shifts to TECL. If signals become weak or risk rises, it tilts toward hedges (SQQQ or UVXY) or cash (SHV).
- How it decides short-term shifts: it uses several indicators layered together (RSI on TQQQ and QQQ, a price-oscillator to confirm trend direction, and a comparison of current price to a 200-day moving average). It also watches very recent performance (1-day return) to avoid buying into fresh drawdowns. If certain conditions fail (risk signals rise or the trend weakens), it moves to cash or hedges; if conditions improve, it backtests into TQQQ/TECL.
- How often it rebalances: daily, so positions can swing quickly with market moves.
- What is the goal: capture upside in tech momentum while limiting downside risk through hedges and cash when signals deteriorate.
Outperforms the S&P: out-of-sample annualized return ~52% vs ~22% for SPY, Calmar ~2.22. 3x-tech momentum with hedges and cash, daily rebalances to chase big tech rallies while limiting downside.
