The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
First it checks if the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) is in a long‑term uptrend (price above its 200‑day average). If yes: when calm and not overheated, it rides that trend with QQQ funds (sometimes 2x/3x). If overheated or choppy, it mixes in hedges (Treasuries, gold, dollar, market‑neutral). If not in an uptrend, it shifts to a defensive, rules‑based mix or even mostly T‑bills plus a short‑term “winner.” RSI = a 0–100 heat gauge; volatility = recent choppiness. Rebalances daily.
A daily‑rebalanced, rule‑based strategy that rides Nasdaq‑100 uptrends (sometimes with leverage), hedges when overheated or choppy, and shifts to defensive mixes or cash when trends weaken. Uses K‑1‑free ETFs only.
Out-of-sample annualized return: 28.38% vs S&P 21.49%, with Calmar 1.44. Ride Nasdaq uptrends, hedge in choppy times, and stay K-1 free—delivering higher upside with disciplined downside protection vs the S&P 500.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
