About
A daily, rule-based momentum-and-trend strategy that switches between ultra-leveraged long bets (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL) and hedges (UVXY, SQQQ, BSV) based on RSI momentum on QQQ and price-versus-moving-average signals, with a risk-off selector among hedges. High leverage and frequent rebalancing mean high risk but potential for quick upside in strong uptrends.
- The system treats a single group as fully invested, selecting a dominant asset or small set of assets to hold each day.
- It uses RSI (relative strength index) signals on QQQ (Nasdaq-100) to gauge momentum. Very high RSI thresholds (examples in the rules include values around 93, 89, 86, etc.) can push the strategy toward hedging assets like UVXY (volatility) or, in some branches, toward risk-off components.
- It then considers leveraged long-trend bets such as TQQQ (3x QQQ), TECL (3x Tech), and SOXL (3x semiconductors) when momentum and price-trend conditions look favorable. These are held if the price is above advantageous moving-average baselines (for example, current price vs a 200-day moving average under certain window settings).
- A nested set of If-Else branches also checks for hedges among SQQQ (inverse 3x QQQ) and BSV (short-term bonds). Among SQQQ and BSV, the system selects the strongest(it’s a “top” filter using RSI over a 10-day window) to balance risk. This acts as a risk-off call when the market’s momentum is deteriorating.
- The strategy uses “moving-average-price” checks to capture trend direction; if current prices are above the moving average, it favors long levered positions; if not, it leans toward hedges or lighter exposure.
- The combination of QQQ-based signals, leveraged ETFs, hedges (UVXY/SQQQ), and a bond proxy (BSV) aims to capture upside in uptrends while providing protection during volatility spikes or downturns.
- The daily rebalance resets positions each day, reflecting a tactical, momentum-and-trend driven approach rather than a buy-and-hold plan.
Momentum-driven strategy using leverage on tech leaders with hedges. Out-of-sample: ~107% annualized return vs ~15% for the S&P; Sharpe ~1.46 vs ~0.83. Higher upside with strong risk-adjusted gains, though drawdowns can be larger.
