A daily, rules-based plan that rides a 3× Nasdaq fund in uptrends, but flips to inverse Nasdaq, volatility, or short‑term bonds when markets look overheated, fall hard, or turn choppy. Uses simple heat/trend checks to manage risk.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Daily rules. First, a trend check: if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day average, the plan mostly holds TQQQ (3× Nasdaq 100). It steps aside when: prices look overheated (RSI high → UVXY), a big 5‑day drop hits (often flips to SQQQ unless extremely oversold), or volatility spikes (→ bonds). If SPY is below trend, it prefers safety: UVXY or SQQQ when fear/weakness rises, TQQQ only on rare oversold bounces, or bonds when chop is high.
A daily, rules-based plan that rides a 3× Nasdaq fund in uptrends, but flips to inverse Nasdaq, volatility, or short‑term bonds when markets look overheated, fall hard, or turn choppy. Uses simple heat/trend checks to manage risk.
Out-of-sample, this rules-based strategy targets Nasdaq-driven upside with disciplined risk controls: ~60% annualized return vs SPY ~22%, Calmar ~1.18, Sharpe ~1.11. A systematic path to stronger growth than the S&P in tech-led cycles.
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.
