Cycle Trading

[Duma]

This has not been an especially good year for cycle investing, because ..... there have been no cycles. The market has just been banging out a steady move upward. But that will change, so I will change nothing that I am doing.

Here are my numbers YTD:

 
        M3/5   Index 
 SPY   14.4%   20.4% 
 QQQ   19.6%   19.2% 
       34.0%

So my game plan is to use my M3/5 daily chart to exit the market during periods of weakness. Most times that weakness is temporary, but it sure wasn't in Mar 2020. So by exiting during weak periods, it allows me to be more aggressive and invest at 200% (or even higher). So doing that, the plan (100% SPY, 100% QQQ) is up 34% ytd. Now that is not a bad ytd.
