About
Daily rules try to ride big‑tech uptrends with TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100), but flip fast to defense (PSQ short Nasdaq, VIXY/VXX) or mean‑reversion bounces (SOXL/UPRO) when stress hits. Bonds and biotech trends act as risk gauges.
First it gauges the backdrop. If long‑term biotech (XBI) is weak, it runs a contrarian picker that flips between bullish and bearish ETFs using bonds vs small‑caps as a cue. Otherwise: hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) when QQQ is above its 25‑day average and stress is low; switch to PSQ (short Nasdaq) when drops or bond trouble appear; buy SOXL/UPRO (3x semis/S&P) on oversold dips; and use VIXY/VXX (volatility) when prices look overheated. RSI is a simple ‘too hot/too cold’ meter.
Dynamic, rules-based exposure to leveraged tech with built‑in hedges. Out‑of‑sample returns trail SPY, but the regime‑aware design aims to diversify risk and provide disciplined risk management across market regimes.
