 One of the better ones (maybe) that I have tested is a Relative Strength strategy
 
 You buy the top two of (MDY,QQQ,VGT,IWF,FDN,ONEQ,PNQI,RPV,ARKW) based on a the 3-month lookback period and 4 month moving average.  You buy TLT if not the the other ETFs meet the criteria.
 
 CAGR=34.55%   MAX DD= -11.46  Worst Year= %5.55  Sharpe Ratio 1.75
 Now this strategy was only tested starting in 2016 because of ARKW.  Even without ARKW the numbers are pretty good.
 
 The Adaptive Top 4
 CAGR=22.14%   MAX DD= -9.68  Worst Year= %5.55  Sharpe Ratio 1.59  Worst Year=-6.84

 And you would have made 6million with just Tqqq and steel ballz.
 
 The other thing to consider is that a 33% drop wipes out Tqqq forever if I understand correctly.

 @risjr,
 
 I don't believe UVXY has been around much more than 10 years, definitely not in the 80s, so I'm not sure your source is providing you actual info.
