About
Rules-based, high-risk swing/rotation: fade overbought markets with UVXY, buy oversold 3x tech/market funds, or switch between tech/short-vol and inverse/Treasury baskets based on Tech (XLK) vs managed-futures (KMLM) momentum.
It reads a short-term “heat meter” (RSI from 0–100). If market/sector funds look very hot (>~80), it buys UVXY, which rises when volatility spikes, to fade the pop. If some look very cold (<~30), it buys 3x bull funds (TECL, SOXL, SPXL, LABU) for a rebound. If no extremes, it compares Tech (XLK) to a managed-futures trend fund (KMLM): if Tech is stronger, it splits into the two most oversold of TECL, SOXL, SVIX (short vol); otherwise it holds the two strongest of SQQQ, SOXS, SPXS, TZA (inverse) and TLT (Treasuries). Uses leveraged/vol ETFs—high risk.
Volatility/CTA-inspired, rules-based strategy to diversify and hedge during market swings. Out-of-sample data show sizable drawdowns and negative long-run returns, so use it as a satellite alongside the S&P 500—not as your core allocation.
