A rule‑driven, daily‑rebalanced portfolio that tilts into tech/growth when trends are strong, and quickly hedges or shifts to bonds/cash/commodities when markets look overheated or fearful. Uses RSI, moving averages, and VIX to rotate and size positions.

Daily, it checks simple signals: trend (moving averages), heat/strain (RSI), and volatility (VIX). If stocks trend up and vol is calm, it leans into tech/growth (sometimes with leverage). If markets look hot or fear spikes, it adds hedges (VIX funds, inverse ETFs, T‑bills) or rotates to bonds/gold/commodities. Position sizes favor calmer assets. RSI: high = hot/overbought; low = washed out/oversold.

Out-of-sample, this strategy outperforms SPY on risk-adjusted terms: Sharpe 1.80 vs 0.83, Calmar 2.90, max drawdown 3.6% vs 18.8%. About 10.5% annualized return with far lower downside thanks to adaptive hedging.
