About
A daily, rules-based “double pop” trader. It buys dips and fades spikes in S&P 500, Nasdaq‑100, and semiconductors using 3× ETFs, rotates to 3× Treasuries when bonds lead, parks in T‑bills when signals disagree, and sometimes hedges with UVXY.
Daily, 3 sleeves (S&P 500, Nasdaq‑100, semis). It uses RSI—think of it as a 0–100 heat gauge: high = hot/overbought, low = cold/oversold. Rules: 1) If very hot, briefly hedge with UVXY (look for a pullback). 2) If very cold, buy the 3× ETF (buy the dip). 3) Otherwise rotate: if bonds outrun stocks, buy 3× Treasuries (or the 3× stock ETF); if not, sit in T‑bills. A bond‑regime check gates risk.
Out-of-sample, this 3-sleeve, rules-based strategy targets 56% annualized returns vs 21% for the S&P 500, with a 1.30 Sharpe and 1.58 Calmar, thanks to thoughtful bond-led rotations and hedges. Higher drawdowns risk, but upside is compelling.
