A daily, volatility‑first strategy. When fear spikes, it moves to T‑Bills or hedges. When calm and trending, it rides strong sectors with 3x funds. If overheated or falling, it flips short or rotates to bonds, gold, or KMLM. Goal: avoid big drawdowns.

Daily: is market fear high? It uses VIX funds (UVXY/VIXY/UVIX) and a 0–100 “stretched/not” score (RSI). If fear is high or jumping, it parks in T‑Bills (BIL/SHV) or hedges with volatility. If calm and trending up, it rides strong areas—often tech/semis—via 3x funds (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL). If overheated or weak, it pivots to inverse funds or to bonds (TMF), gold, or KMLM (managed futures).

Out-of-sample edge: ~66.7% annualized vs ~31.5% SPY; Sharpe ~3.17 vs 2.62; Calmar ~13.50; beta ~0.69. Higher risk-adjusted gains with volatility hedges; levered tech rallies in calm markets.
