Rule‑based QQQ strategy: ride tech in uptrends, but when prices look overheated it hides in bonds/gold. In weak markets it quickly shifts among QQQ, inverse QQQ, Treasuries, or cash. A smaller sleeve adds extra crash/sideways protection with 2x long/short toggles.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
First it checks if the broad market (SPY) is in an uptrend (price above its 200‑day average). In uptrends it mainly holds QQQ; if short‑term heat builds (high RSI), it parks in Treasuries or gold. In weak markets it rotates among QQQ, inverse QQQ, Treasuries, or cash using short‑term trend and overbought/oversold cues. A small sleeve (~30%) adds extra bear/sideways rules, toggling between 2x long or 2x short QQQ and sometimes semiconductors. RSI = 0–100 heat gauge.

Out-of-sample, this rule-based tech strategy captures Nasdaq upside with hedges in Treasuries/gold. It shows ~36.4% annualized return vs ~18.4% for SPY, Sharpe ~1.30 vs 1.15, and Calmar ~1.55—stronger risk-adjusted performance despite higher drawdowns.
