About
A daily, rule-based switcher: hedge in panics, buy rebounds with leveraged stock funds when markets look washed out, and otherwise sit in cash-like ETFs. Adds safety brakes and a check versus a trend-following fund (KMLM) to decide when to take risk.
What it tries to do, in plain English:
- Each day it checks “hot/cold” meters (RSI: 0–100) on fear (VXX) and on big indexes. Under ~30 = washed‑out; over ~80 = overheated.
- Panic? Buy protection (VXX or 3× inverse S&P).
- Washed‑out? Buy rebounds using 3× tech/market funds (e.g., TQQQ, SPXL, TECL, SOXL), picking the 2 most beaten‑down lately.
- No edge? Sit in cash‑like ETFs (BIL/SGOV/BOXX).
- Extra brakes: if a quick drop hits, or bonds get wild, go to cash. It also compares tech’s momentum vs KMLM (a trend‑following fund); if KMLM looks stronger, it stays defensive.
Out-of-sample edge: 37.16% annualized return vs SPY’s 35.31%, with built-in crash hedges and brakes to guard during panics, plus selective leveraged exposure to capture rallies. Drawdowns can be larger (16% vs 5%).
