About
Daily rules rotate among QQQ, its shorts (PSQ/SQQQ), S&P 500 funds (VOO/RSP), and SHY. Big trend filter, buy‑the‑dip at extremes, and short‑term signals to avoid chop. Uses leveraged ETFs at extremes; expect higher volatility.
Tickers: QQQ=Nasdaq‑100; VOO/RSP=S&P 500 (cap/equal‑weight); QLD=2x long QQQ; PSQ=−1x short QQQ; SQQQ=−3x short QQQ; SHY=short‑term Treasuries. RSI is a 0–100 “heat gauge” of recent price speed (high=hot, low=cold).
If the market is in a long uptrend, hold RSP unless Nasdaq looks overheated (then briefly use SQQQ). If not, buy extreme dips (QLD or VOO); otherwise mix QQQ, PSQ, or SHY using short‑term trend to reduce whipsaws.
Out-of-sample edge: lower drawdown (14.1% vs 18.8%) and solid risk-adjusted growth (Calmar ~1.34) via regime-based rotations. While SPY may post higher raw returns, this strategy shields you from big drops while still seeking upside.
