About
Hedges with VIXY when markets look overheated (RSI high), buys 3x bull ETFs on sharp dips (RSI low), and otherwise toggles TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), PSQ (‑1x Nasdaq), or GLD using KMLM (managed‑futures) as a simple risk gauge.
RSI = 0–100 “heat” score of recent price moves: >80 hot, <30 cold.
1) If major stock ETFs look hot, put 40% in VIXY (fear gauge), rest cash.
2) If they look cold, go 100% into a 3x bull (TQQQ/SOXL/SPXL/LABU) for a bounce.
3) Else: if Tech (XLK) beats KMLM (managed‑futures), buy TQQQ; if KMLM trending up, buy PSQ (‑1x Nasdaq); else hold GLD (gold).
Volatility-hedged, regime-switching overlay on the S&P 500. Diversifies risk by hedging hot markets and tactically buying dips; can cushion drawdowns. Out-of-sample results are negative with larger drawdowns, so use as a diversification sleeve.
