About
When markets get “too hot” short‑term, it flips into volatility funds (UVXY/VIXY), sometimes with BTAL. Otherwise it follows trend: hold SPY in uptrends; in downtrends, rotate to short S&P or Treasuries, with occasional oversold bounce plays.
It watches a short‑term “heat” gauge (10‑day RSI) on the S&P 500 and related funds. If any look very hot (about 79–81), it buys volatility (UVXY or VIXY); in one case, 75% UVXY + 25% BTAL. If nothing is hot, it follows trend: above the 200‑day average it holds SPY (unless briefly hot, then VIXY); below it, it rotates between short S&P (SH) or Treasuries (TLT), with rare oversold bounces via 3x S&P (UPRO). Rebalanced daily.
Regime-aware strategy targets higher upside than SPY: OOS return 30.4% vs 17.9%. Uses volatility hedges in heat and trend bets in dips—higher upside with risk for risk-tolerant alpha seekers.
