About
Rules-based swing strategy that rides tech uptrends with 3x funds (TQQQ/SOXL) and quickly shifts to cash or inverse ETFs (BIL/SQQQ/SOXS) when risk rises. Signals blend trend, momentum (RSI), and bond-vs-stock checks to rotate among high-octane ETFs.
Two engines guide it. A) “WAM” compares short‑term bond vs stock strength using RSI (a hot/cold score) and rotates into bullish or bearish ETFs, picking one with snap‑back potential. B) “TQQQ or not” owns TQQQ while QQQ is above trend (25‑day moving average). If markets get too hot/weak/jumpy (RSI extremes, big losses, high drawdown), it flips to T‑bills (BIL) or inverse/sector funds (SQQQ, SOXL/SOXS). The S&P 500’s 5‑day trend tilts the weight.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~49% vs ~21% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.54 signaling strong risk-adjusted upside. Drawdowns are larger (~32% vs ~19%), but the rules-based trend/momentum system aims to capture tech rallies while providing risk controls for growth.
