About
A daily, rules-based Nasdaq switcher: ride rallies with TQQQ, hedge or short with PSQ/SQQQ when risk rises, or park in JEPQ to earn option income during choppy/uncertain periods. Uses trend, overbought/oversold, rates, volatility, and dollar/commodities.
Each day it picks 1 of 4 Nasdaq funds:
- TQQQ (triple-long) to ride uptrends
- PSQ/SQQQ (inverse) to hedge or short when risk rises
- JEPQ (income via options) when things look choppy
It reads simple gauges: stretch/strain (RSI = a 0–100 “speedometer” of recent moves), trend (moving averages), interest rates (Treasuries), fear (volatility), dollar/commodities. Risk-on → TQQQ; too hot/fear high → PSQ/SQQQ; mixed → JEPQ.
Out-of-sample annualized return 36.15% vs S&P 25.17%, Calmar 1.54—strong, risk-adjusted Nasdaq upside. A rules-based switcher rides rallies (TQQQ), hedges with PSQ/SQQQ, and earns income in chop (JEPQ)—with higher drawdown (23.46% vs 18.76%).
