SHY = short‑term US Treasuries (cash‑like).<br>1) If SPY’s 21‑day average price is above its 210‑day average (uptrend), buy QQQ.<br>2) Else, if QQQ is very oversold (RSI(10) below 30), buy QQQ.<br>3) Else, if SPY is above its 31‑day average (short‑term bounce), buy QQQ.<br>4) Otherwise, hold SHY. Rebalanced daily.
Daily, it holds either QQQ (big tech) or SHY (short‑term Treasuries). It buys QQQ when the market trend, oversold signal, or a short‑term bounce is positive; otherwise it parks in SHY to cut risk.
