A defensive, tactical strategy. Most of the time it sits in bonds. When markets look stretched, it briefly bets on volatility spiking (UVXY) or shorts Nasdaq (SQQQ). A small slice buys triple‑long Nasdaq (TQQQ) in strong trends or deep pullbacks. Rebalanced daily.

Daily, 3-part mix: ~90% hedges, ~10% opportunistic. It checks trend (price vs 200‑day avg), short‑term heat/cold (RSI 0–100; >79 hot, <31 cold), and recent rips/dips. - Overheated or sharp bounce: buy UVXY (fast VIX/fear fund) or SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq). - Otherwise: sit in BOND or UUP (USD). - Small sleeve buys TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) in uptrends or deep dips; else XLP/BOND.

Dynamic, defensive strategy: mostly bonds with tactical volatility plays and selective Nasdaq exposure. Out-of-sample: ~26.6% annualized return, Sharpe ~2.18, Calmar ~6.91, max drawdown ~3.85%. Lower drawdown and strong risk‑adjusted performance vs SPY.
