About
A tactical switcher: it fades overheated markets (VIXY), buys sharp dips (TQQQ), rotates into YieldMax/FEPI option‑income ETFs when Treasuries outrun the “short Nasdaq” gauge, and otherwise hides in T‑bills (SHV) or shorts QQQ (PSQ).
Signals checked daily. RSI (0–100 “hot/cold” score): if QQQ or SPY are very hot (RSI>80) buy VIXY (volatility). If QQQ is very cold (RSI<30) buy TQQQ (3× Nasdaq). Otherwise compare 10‑day IEF (7–10yr Treasuries) vs 20‑day PSQ (short Nasdaq). If IEF is stronger, own 1–4 YieldMax/FEPI option‑income ETFs on big tech, picked by recent momentum with the gentlest 5‑day drawdown. If not, sit in SHV (T‑bills) or short QQQ with PSQ when QQQ is below its 20‑day average.
No out-of-sample data yet. This tactical strategy hedges volatility (VIXY), rides rebounds (TQQQ), earns income via YieldMax/FEPI ETFs, and preserves capital in SHV, aiming to outperform the S&P 500 through regime-driven tilts.
