About this strategy

My 3x SPX BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY and 3x QQQ BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY are quantitative market-timing strategies designed to identify recurring patterns and relationships between several market data variables. The primary data drivers are the VIX to SPX, VXN to QQQ, Stochastic Indicators, and resistance & support levels. Additionally, there are many other mathematical analyses involved.

Acknowledging nothing works 100% of the time, 3x SPX BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY and 3x QQQ BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY are designed to capture the trending moves of the market, which should generate a significantly larger return than the sum of all losses over time. I use statistical analysis to predict market movements, thus predicting when to buy or sell. My disciplined quantitative process should result in significant outperformance over time.

My back tests for the 3x SPX BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY and 3x QQQ BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY from their inception dates have resulted in a positive return for every rolling 6, 9, and 12-month periods for both strategies. The rolling 3-month periods have resulted in a positive return +98% of the time for both strategies. The rolling 1-month periods have resulted in a positive return +90% of the time for both strategies. From inception 3x SPX BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY has an overall BUY / SELL success rate of +65% and 3x QQQ BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY has an overall BUY / SELL success rate of +69%. The back tests are from the inception date of June 24, 2009 for the 3x SPX BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY and February 9, 2010 for the 3x QQQ BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY through July 25, 2022.

METHODOLOGY FOR BACK TEST PERFORMANCE FOR 3x SPX BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY AND 3x QQQ BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY
• Every formula is consistent from the inception date to the present and there is absolutely no forward looking to calculate the data.
• June 24, 2009 is when UPRO and SPXS were available to trade and is the inception date of the back tested performance.
• February 9, 2010 is when TQQQ and SQQQ were each available to trade and is the inception date of the back tested performance.
• All BUY, SELL and HOLD signals are determined at the closing price of the trading day.
• All BUYs and SELLs are assumed to be bought or sold at the closing price of the following trading day of the BUY or SELL signal.
• In actual practice, the BUY or SELL happens at or near the market open the next trading day after the previous trading day’s BUY or SELL signal.
• 3x SPX BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY will hold SPX 3x Long (ETF UPRO) or SPX 3x Short (ETF SPXS).
• 3x QQQ BULL & BEAR QUANT STRATEGY will hold (ETF TQQQ) or QQQ 3x Short (ETF SQQQ).

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
