One reference — TQQQ's 200-day moving average — decides the market regime, and each regime has a predefined allocation. No predictions. Just rules.
There is exactly one reference: the 200-day moving average of TQQQ (the 3x Nasdaq ETF). Where the closing price sits relative to that line defines one of three regimes, and each regime comes with a fixed action. Nothing is left to judgment — so emotion never gets a vote.
Sell all growth assets (TQQQ, SPYM) and move 100% into SGOV (short-term treasuries). Step fully off the leverage and wait for the next signal.
Swap all SGOV into TQQQ, and new money buys TQQQ too. If you hold SPYM bought during the overheated regime, keep it. This band is where most of the strategy's returns are made.
Keep existing TQQQ, but park new money in SPYM to manage risk. It may be a short-term overheat signal, so build the stable asset instead of chasing.
When the focus regime arrives, it's tempting to sell SPYM as well and go all-in on TQQQ. Over the long run, that choice tends to eat your returns.
These charts reproduce the exact rules on the last 10 years of data. Green shading marks TQQQ holding periods — walking sideways through the 2022 bear and re-entering on the 2023 golden cross is this strategy's signature scene.
