About
A daily tactical switcher. Uses SPY trend and RSI (0–100 heat gauge) to alternate between 3x S&P (UPRO), 3x inverse (SPXU), 3x tech (TECL), volatility (VXX), or cash/bonds (BIL/BSV/IEF) to press winners, hedge froth, or seek safety.
Each day it checks: 1) Trend (is SPY above its 200‑day average?). 2) Short‑term “heat” via RSI (0–100; >70–80=overbought, <30=oversold).
Uptrend: if RSI>80 on SPY or QQQ, buy VXX (volatility). Else if 60‑day RSI>60, hold BIL (T‑bills). Else buy UPRO (3x S&P).
Downtrend: if QQQ RSI<30, buy TECL (3x tech). Else if SPY above 25‑day: use SPXU (3x inverse S&P) when RSI>70, else UPRO. Else hold the strongest of IEF (7‑10Y Treas), SPXU, or BSV (short‑term bonds).
Out-of-sample results show a 43% annualized return vs 17.6% for the S&P 500, with a Calmar 5.59. A disciplined, regime-switching approach using leveraged ETFs, volatility hedges, and bonds delivers higher upside with controlled risk.
