About
A very aggressive daily trading strategy that mostly jumps among leveraged tech, semiconductor, biotech, bond, and bearish funds, but moves to T-bills when market fear gets too high.
This strategy checks the market every day and usually makes one aggressive short-term bet.
It first asks: is market fear surging? If yes, it moves to very short-term Treasury bills (BIL), which act like a cash parking spot.
If not, it picks whichever of two big trading playbooks has been working better lately. Those playbooks mostly rotate among tech, semiconductors, biotech, bonds, and bearish hedges. They use simple tests like: has an asset been rising too fast, falling too hard, or staying in an uptrend? Then they buy the most attractive choice—often a leveraged fund that can move 2x or 3x as much as the market.
Out-of-sample return 18.41% vs S&P 15.97%—driven by agile, leveraged tech bets with a risk-off cash hedge. Aims for bigger upside in bull markets; expect higher drawdowns, so suitable for investors with higher risk tolerance.
