How it differs from FTLT
| FTLT | Holy Grail | |
|---|---|---|
| Trend signal | SPY's 200-day average | TQQQ's own 200-day average |
| Bull regime | 100% TQQQ | 80% TQQQ, 20% cash |
| Bear dip buy | TECL or UPRO | Adds SOXL when SOXL's RSI is below 30 |
| Safe asset | TLT | BSV (short-term bonds) |
| Rebalancing | Daily signal | When weights drift more than 5% |
Why these changes
Using TQQQ's own trend reacts to the Nasdaq directly. The 20% cash cushions drawdowns. Short-term bonds avoid the rate risk that hurt TLT in 2022.
Risks
- TQQQ's own average is noisier, so it switches more often.
- Cash drag in strong bull markets.
- SOXL (3x semiconductors) has fallen more than 90% before; buying its dips can mean catching a falling knife.
- There is no public live track record.
The strategy originated in the Composer community; see the credits on Frontrunner strategies.
