About
Daily system that rotates between 3x S&P/Nasdaq, cash-like T‑Bills, or a volatility hedge. It buys dips, hedges when things look overheated, and otherwise only buys when bonds briefly outpace stocks within a supportive backdrop.
Splits capital between two daily‑checked mini‑bots (S&P 500 and Nasdaq‑100). RSI is a 0–100 “heat gauge” of recent moves; >80 hot, <30 cold.
1) If the 3x fund (SPXL/TQQQ) is hot, hold UVXY (volatility). If cold, buy SPXL/TQQQ.
2) Else, if trend is up (SPY RSI60>50) or long bonds beat intermediates (TLT>IEF), run “Double Pop”: if bonds (BND, 20‑day) outrun stocks (SPY), buy SPXL/TQQQ; otherwise hold BIL (T‑Bills).
Out-of-sample performance shows higher risk-adjusted returns and alpha versus the S&P: ~66% annualized vs ~23%, Sharpe 1.74 vs 1.46, Calmar 2.35, with a disciplined risk framework—though drawdowns are larger (~28% vs ~19%).
