About

Sits in T‑Bills until a fast tech fund (TQQQ) gets unusually “hot.” Then it tilts into fear/downside via UVXY, VIXM, and SOXS—favoring recent winners and balancing risk—to try to profit from a short‑term pullback.
NutHow it works
Watch a fast tech fund (TQQQ). If its 10‑day RSI—a “speed/heat” gauge of recent gains—is extremely high (>81), the strategy bets on a short‑term pullback: 75% goes to the 2 strongest of UVXY (short‑term fear), VIXM (mid‑term fear), and SOXS (3x inverse semis) based on 10‑day returns; 25% goes to a risk‑balanced mix of UVXY and VIXM. Otherwise it holds BIL (T‑Bills).
