Rides the long‑term Nasdaq uptrend with TQQQ, but when markets get overheated, fall sharply, or turn bearish, it flips defensively into SQQQ (short Nasdaq), UVXY (volatility), or TLT (Treasuries). Daily, rules‑based, with strict overbought/oversold gates.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
First check trend: is the broad market (SPY) above its 200‑day average? If yes, default to TQQQ (3x Nasdaq). If things look too hot (very high short‑term “heat”/RSI), switch to UVXY (volatility) or SQQQ (short). On sharp Nasdaq dips, buy TQQQ only if truly washed out; otherwise briefly use SQQQ. If volatility is high, hide in TLT (Treasuries). If SPY is below trend, rotate among SQQQ, TLT, UVXY, and only buy TQQQ at extreme oversold points.
Rides the long‑term Nasdaq uptrend with TQQQ, but when markets get overheated, fall sharply, or turn bearish, it flips defensively into SQQQ (short Nasdaq), UVXY (volatility), or TLT (Treasuries). Daily, rules‑based, with strict overbought/oversold gates.
Potential upside: an out-of-sample 59% annualized return vs SPY’s 22%; with tactical hedges (volatility and Treasuries) and daily risk controls. Higher upside, but larger drawdowns; designed for disciplined investors.
Made by /u/derecknielsen & V4 is modified by Garen Phillips, Pietros Maneos and Raekon. Pietros Maneos was hesitant to use single stocks, so he amended the Better QQQ with LETFs. Raekon analyzed the logic in depth and modified some of the ETF logic and simplified the ETF choices in order to boost gains while simultaneously lowering the number of assets and trading days, which will give even better tax adjusted returns.
