A daily tactical mix: regime gate between bonds and a stock hedge, sector tilt between XLK and XLP guided by price/momentum signals, and a fallback long/short rotation among hedged assets chosen by recent volatility.

- Every day, the strategy evaluates a regime gate to decide if it should lean toward sector bets or fall back to rotation among hedged/defensive assets. - Regime gate (20d BND vs 60d SH): compute momentum signals on BND and SH. If BND’s momentum is stronger than SH’s, proceed to the sector tilt checks. - Sector tilt (XLK vs XLP): also check SPY’s trend: is SPY trading above its 200-day average? If yes, pick a sector bet based on a short-term momentum check: if XLK’s 10-day RSI relative to QQQ’s RSI(10d) is below 30, tilt to XLK (technology); otherwise tilt to XLP (consumer staples). - If the regime gate or the RSI/price checks don’t favor XLK or XLP, switch to the Long/Short Rotator. - Long/Short Rotator: from a pool of six assets (TMV, TMF, SVXY, VIXM, GLD, BIL), rank by recent volatility (standard deviation of returns over the last 5 days) and take the four with the lowest volatility, weighting them equally. This creates a diversified, hedged exposure rather than a single directional bet. - Weighting and rebalancing: positions are built with equal cash-style weights within each chosen group, and the overall portfolio is rebalanced daily. - Tickers and what they represent: XLK (Technology SPDR), XLP (Consumer Staples SPDR), SPY (S&P 500 ETF), QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF), BND (Total Bond Market), SH (ProShares Short S&P 500), TMV (leveraged inverse Treasury), TMF (leveraged Treasury), SVXY (short VIX), VIXM (VIX futures mid-term), GLD (Gold), BIL (1–3 month Treasuries). The approach blends trend signals, momentum, and volatility-based rotation to attempt to capture upside while containing downside.

Out-of-sample: ~24.3% annualized return vs ~21.2% for SPY, with smaller drawdown (17.2% vs 18.8%) and Calmar 1.41. Daily regime gate plus sector/defensive rotation seeks higher upside with lower risk than the S&P 500.
