A complex, signals-driven investor-cycle that alternates between aggressive, levered growth bets (tech/semis, QQQ/SPY levers) and defense/volatility hedges (UVXY, VIXY, TMF/TMV, bonds, gold). It picks one or few ETFs at a time using momentum, price and RSI rules, then allocates 100% to the chosen basket—often with many such nested rules to decide what to hold next.

- It operates as a two-part cycling system (Duo Cycler) with no automatic rebalancing. One side targets “risk-on” growth exposures (levered tech/semis and high-momentum sectors), the other side targets “risk-off” defense (bonds, volatility, dollar, gold, and cautious equity exposure). - Within each cycle, signals pick from many baskets. Signals use a blend of indicators and price rules: moving-average trends, exponential moving averages, and RSI (a momentum gauge). For example, if a market indicator like the S&P 500 is deemed extremely overbought, the system may favor volatility bets (UVXY/VIXY) or aggressive hedges; if it’s extremely oversold, it tends to favor ultra-levered long tech/semiconductors (SOXL/TECL, TQQQ, UPRO, SPXL). - Asset selection is highly granular: each node has ensembles of assets and a rule like “bottom” or “top” with a small sample (usually 1 asset chosen from a list) based on performance screens (moving-average return, cumulative return, or standard deviation). The weighting is almost always full exposure to the selected asset(s) (weight 100/100 in most blocks). - The universe includes popular and obscure ETFs, including leveraged Bulls (SOXL, TECL, TQQQ, SPXL, UPRO), leveraged Bears (SOXS, SQQQ, UVXY, YCS, SARK), volatility/long volatility (UVXY, VIXY, VIXY signals), crypto-related funds (BITI, BITO), bonds and defense (TMF/TMV, SHY, BIL, AGG, GLD), and international/sector funds (EWZ, EPI, EEM, EFA, QQQ-type exposures). - The strategy uses a lot of named sub-strategies (ARK Baller, Plaid Inner Baller, See You Tmrw, etc.). Each sub-strategy encodes a cluster of entry rules that select a single instrument or a tiny set, which the master rule then aggregates into the final allocation for the cycle. - The product is not a simple buy-and-hold: it’s an elaborate, signals-driven oscillator that tries to ride momentum in up cycles and protect (or profit from) volatility during down periods, often taking on substantial leverage and using volatility-related hedges as core ballast. It’s essentially a framework for cycling through many specialized baskets rather than a conventional, single-pass portfolio. - Important caveats: the depth and breadth of signals create a very complex strategy with many moving parts; it may be sensitive to backtest assumptions, data quality, and look-ahead bias. It relies heavily on ETF performance screens and does not target a standard benchmark. It is not investment advice. Proper risk controls and understanding of leverage/volatility products are essential before attempting to implement such a system.
