A daily, rules‑based strategy that reads TQQQ’s trend and momentum to switch among index ETFs, hedge with VIX when overheated, and use inverse ETFs when trends turn down. It picks up to five positions and sizes them by risk.

It uses TQQQ (a fast‑moving Nasdaq‑100 fund) as a market thermometer. If TQQQ is above its 50/100/200/400‑day averages, it’s risk‑on; if below, risk‑off. RSI flags “too hot” (then hedge with VIX funds) or “too cold” (then buy). Short‑term trend breaks flip to inverse ETFs. It holds up to 5 funds, weights safer ones more, and rebalances daily.

Out-of-sample edge: ≈24.3% annualized return vs SPY 15.7%, sharpe ≈1.03 vs 0.87, max drawdown 12.2% vs 18.8%, beta ~0.22, Calmar ≈2.0 over 420 days. A dynamic, risk-controlled strategy delivering stronger, steadier upside than the S&P 500.
