About
A daily, rules‑driven system that tries to ride tech/semiconductor uptrends with 3x bull ETFs and swiftly cut risk when markets overheat or fear spikes. It uses RSI, trends, and cross‑asset signals (bonds, commodities, dollar) to rotate among bulls, bears, and cash.
Every day it checks three things: trend, short‑term “heat,” and fear.
- If trend is up and calm: buy 3x bull tech/semis (TQQQ, SOXL, TECL, SPXL/UPRO).
- If overheated or fear spikes (UVXY/VIX high): flip to 3x inverse (SQQQ, SOXS, TECS) or cash‑like bills (BIL/ICSH/SHY).
- Bond/commodity/US‑dollar signals (TLT, IEF, DBC, USDU) can shift it into bonds (TMF/TMV), commodities (PDBC/OILK), or gold (GLD).
RSI = a 0–100 “heat” score; moving averages = trend.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~29% vs S&P, with Calmar ~1.25 and Sharpe ~1.01—strong risk-adjusted upside. A rules-based, volatility-aware tech/semis strategy that switches to risk-off quickly; drawdowns up to ~23% in stress.
