About
A fast, single‑ETF rotation using 7‑day RSI. If SPY beats cash, own SPY. Otherwise, bond moves pick QQQ or SOXX; if neither, sit in Treasuries (IEF or TLT) with a small contrarian tilt between them.
It uses a 7‑day RSI (a 0–100 “heat” score of recent gains vs losses) to make one choice at a time:
1) If big US stocks (SPY) are hotter than cash‑like T‑bills (BIL), buy SPY.
Else read Treasuries: if 3–7y (IEI) beat 1–3y (SHY), buy tech (QQQ). Else if 3–7y beat 7–10y (IEF), buy chipmakers (SOXX). Else hide in Treasuries: if 20y+ (TLT) is hotter, pick 7–10y (IEF); otherwise pick TLT.
Out-of-sample: ~38% annualized return vs SPY's ~22%, with strong risk-adjusted metrics. Simple single-position RSI-7 rotation among SPY/QQQ/SOXX/IEF/TLT captures regime shifts. Higher drawdowns (~38%) mean higher upside but more risk.
