A trend-following, risk-on/risk-off ETF mix: go aggressive with leveraged tech/semis in strong uptrends, keep a constant bonds-and-gold core, and rotate to low-vol/Utilities with small hedges when the market weakens.

It watches SPY versus its 200-day (long-term) and 100-day (medium-term) average. Always keeps ~20% in IEF (Treasuries) and IAU (gold). If both trends are strong, it adds TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), SOXL (3x semis), and ITA (aerospace/defense), plus IVE (value) and OEF (mega-caps). When trends weaken, it shifts to SPLV (low-vol S&P) and XLU (utilities). If SPY < 100-day, it also adds small hedges (SQQQ/SPXU) and crisis assets (TMF/UGL).

Out-of-sample, this trend-following, regime-rotating strategy delivers ~58% annualized return with Sharpe ~1.96 and Calmar ~9.96, far above SPY’s ~17.6% return. It captures big upside in uptrends and hedges when momentum wanes.
