About
A daily, rules‑driven “black swan” and momentum system. It rotates among leveraged tech/semiconductor bulls, volatility hedges, bearish funds, Treasuries, or cash using overbought/oversold, trend, and shock signals to chase rebounds and defend crashes.
It’s a daily rulebook that watches three things: stocks (S&P 500, Nasdaq, semiconductors), bonds (Treasuries), and “fear” (VIX). It uses short‑term hot/cold meters (RSI: high = overheated, low = washed‑out), trend checks, and shock detectors (sudden drops).
Actions: If markets look overheated it briefly buys “fear” funds (UVXY/VIXY). If they’re washed‑out and bonds aren’t flashing danger, it buys one aggressive fund (e.g., SOXL=3x semis, TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, UPRO/SPXL=3x S&P). If stress is high or trends weaken, it flips to bearish funds (SQQQ, SOXS, SPXS), Treasuries (TMF=3x long, TMV=3x short), or cash (BIL=T‑bills). It always picks a single fund from a small list based on very recent strength.
Out-of-sample, this dynamic, risk-managed rotation of tech/semis, volatility hedges, and Treasuries delivers far stronger risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500, with minimal drawdowns, negative beta, and high Calmar protection.
