About
Aggressive, daily‑rebalanced trader that rides uptrends with 3x Nasdaq/S&P/semis, buys short-term dips, and quickly flips to hedges (inverse ETFs, bonds/cash, USD, volatility, or commodities) when heat, trend, or bond signals turn cautionary.
It is a daily trading bot.
- It checks: trend (S&P 500 vs its 200‑day avg), heat (RSI = a 0–100 "hot/cold" meter), big 1–2 day shocks, and a bond/stock risk check.
- If risk-on: it buys two recent "dip" picks from TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, SPXL/UPRO=3x S&P, SOXL=3x semis, TMF=3x long Treasuries.
- If markets look stretched or weak: it flips to hedges SQQQ/SOXS/SPXS=3x inverse, UVXY=volatility, BIL/BSV/AGG=bonds/cash, UUP=US$, or DBC=commodities.
Focus: big tech, S&P 500, semis.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~40% vs the S&P’s ~23%, fueled by aggressive tech/semis bets and fast hedging. Captures outsized upside in bull regimes with dynamic risk controls; note higher drawdowns and volatility compared to the S&P.
