A daily, rules-based swing trader for gold miners using 2x ETFs. It buys NUGT when miners look washed out or strengthening, flips to DUST when they look overheated or when markets favor risk, and parks in BIL (cash) when signals are mixed.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Each day it holds one fund: NUGT (2x bet on gold-miner stocks rising), DUST (2x bet on them falling), or BIL (T-bills = cash). If NUGT’s 10-day RSI (a speedometer of recent gains vs losses) is very high, switch to DUST; if very low, buy NUGT. Otherwise it checks the backdrop: if tech (QQQ, signal only) is improving and miners’ last 5 days were positive, buy NUGT; if not, hold BIL. If tech isn’t improving and bonds (TLT, signal) lag tech, use DUST; else BIL.
A daily, rules-based swing trader for gold miners using 2x ETFs. It buys NUGT when miners look washed out or strengthening, flips to DUST when they look overheated or when markets favor risk, and parks in BIL (cash) when signals are mixed.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~1.59, Calmar ~4.33, plus 2x gold-miner exposure with cash. Strong risk-adjusted upside versus the S&P in the tested window, though drawdowns can be larger in volatile regimes.
