About
Rides Bitcoin and big-tech rallies, rotates into recent winners, and keeps a 20% volatility sleeve (UVXY/SVIX). If markets look overheated, it quickly flips to UVXY; if Bitcoin weakens, it shifts defensive (short crypto) until the uptrend returns.
1) Quick “overheated” check: if major indexes/sectors or popular leveraged funds look extremely hot (RSI ~75–80+), buy UVXY to profit if markets suddenly wobble.
2) If not overheated, use Bitcoin’s trend (BITO 50-day > 200-day) as a risk-on signal: put ~80% into the recent top performers from crypto, big tech, and small caps; keep ~20% in a VIX sleeve that flips between UVXY (fear rising) and SVIX (calm).
3) If Bitcoin isn’t trending up, either short crypto (BITI/MSTZ) after a sharp drop, or use a smaller momentum list—still with the VIX sleeve.
Out-of-sample edge: ~51% annualized return vs SPY 16%, Sharpe ~0.93, Calmar ~1.17, beta ~0.94. Crypto/mega-tech momentum with a dynamic VIX hedge aims for higher, risk-adjusted upside vs the S&P—though drawdowns can rise.
