Interesting premise, but surprisingly not as good as a buy and hold of TQQQ, according to Portfolio Visualizer (since 2011)

Using QQQ, one can go back to the turn of the century and include the two bear markets before 2011. Using a lookback period of 12 months and weekly trading checks, the system grew $10K into $88K while buy-and-hold only made it to $77K (a 14% improvement).
