The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Uses 3x tech ETFs (TQQQ/TECL), their 3x inverse (SQQQ), volatility (UVXY), SPY (S&P 500) as a health check, and short‑term bonds (BSV). RSI = a 0–100 “heat” gauge; moving averages mark trend.<br>Each day: If SPY is above its 200‑day avg, mostly hold TQQQ, but switch to SQQQ or UVXY when prices look too hot or after big 5‑day drops/bounces. If SPY is below trend, rotate among SQQQ, UVXY, TQQQ/TECL or BSV based on those “heat” and trend signals.

Out-of-sample, this strategy targets meaningfully higher upside than the S&P 500: ~57% annualized return vs ~22%, using dynamic hedges and tech leverage. Note the cost: larger drawdowns (~50%), though Calmar ~1.15 indicates solid risk-adjusted performance.
Made by /u/derecknielsen & V3 is modified by Garen Phillips. Pietros Maneos was hesitant to use single stocks, so he amended the Better QQQ with LETFs. Raekon modified some of the ETF choices in order to boost gains while simultaneously lowering the number of trading days, which will give even better tax adjusted returns.
