About
A daily switch that rotates among 3x long tech (BULZ), 3x short tech (BERZ), cash-like T‑Bills (BIL), or volatility (UVXY) using recent Nasdaq momentum, big selloff flags, and bond‑market stress to decide when to take risk, hedge, or step aside.
Each day it checks recent Nasdaq moves and bond‑market stress to choose one: BULZ (3x long big‑tech basket), BERZ (3x inverse), BIL (T‑Bills), or UVXY (volatility). If tech looks overheated → BERZ. After sharp selloffs it may play a bounce (BULZ) or elevated volatility (UVXY). In uptrends it rides tech (BULZ); if stocks/bonds look shaky it parks in BIL. QQQ/TQQQ, SPY, BND/IEF/TLT/TMF are used only as signals.
Out-of-sample upside: ~25.8% annualized vs ~21.7% for the S&P, driven by tactical tech timing and risk controls. Expect higher drawdowns (~52%), but potential for stronger tech-driven growth.
