About
Tech‑tilted, rules‑based trading that shifts among leveraged Nasdaq (QLD), hedges (PSQ), broad stocks (SPY), and Treasuries (SHY/TLT/TBT). It uses trend, volatility, and overbought/oversold cues to decide when to press or protect.
1) Big picture: Is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average (an uptrend)? If yes and long‑term Treasuries (TLT) also trend up, it rides the Nasdaq: buys QLD when swings are calm, but briefly hedges with PSQ if QQQ is extremely hot (RSI>81). If swings aren’t calm, it holds SPY+SHY. If TLT isn’t trending up, it trades bonds (TLT, or TBT vs SHY by strength). If SPY is below its 200‑day, it’s cautious: it buys QLD only on extreme washouts (RSI<30); otherwise it picks PSQ or SHY when QQQ is below key averages, and QLD when it’s above. RSI is a 0–100 “heat” score.
Regime-aware, rules-based strategy blending Nasdaq leverage, hedges, and bonds. Out-of-sample: ~18.8% annualized vs SPY 20.2%, but with disciplined risk controls and diversification to reduce drawdowns—designed to complement the S&P 500.
