About
Rules-driven rotation among 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ), 3x Treasuries (TMF), volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXM), and defensive assets. Uses canary signals plus an RSI heat gauge to buy dips, fade overheated markets, and lean into safe havens when stress rises.
Goal: catch upside with less pain. It checks “canaries” to size risk, then uses an RSI heat gauge (0–100) to buy dips or hedge when too hot. If bonds (BND) trail T‑bills (BIL), it runs an RSI catcher: SPY>75→UVXY; <30→TQQQ; else a momentum mix of UUP (USD), TMF (3x Treas), DBC (commodities), UGL (2x gold), IEO (oil), XLU (utilities), VIXM (vol). If canaries look better, it favors TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) unless overhot, then UVXY; or pairs TMF with TQQQ/vol in risk‑off.
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return 35.28% vs S&P 22.15%, beta ~0.93, Calmar ~1.02. A rules-driven, hedged rotation seeks higher upside with built-in risk controls, not a static index.
