About
In uptrends it holds a low‑vol mix of LLY/NVO/COST/GE, but if things look overheated it temporarily shifts to VIXY. In downtrends it buys deep tech dips with SOXL/TECL or rotates between high‑beta (SPHB) and defensive (BTAL), checking signals daily.
Daily rules. Step 1: Is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average (a long‑term trend gauge)? If yes: if short‑term “heat” (10‑day RSI, 0–100) is very high on SPY/QQQ/XLK or broad sectors, park in VIXY (volatility hedge). Otherwise hold a calmer‑weighted mix of LLY, NVO, COST, GE. If SPY isn’t in an uptrend: buy sharp tech dips with SOXL or TECL (3x bull ETFs) when very oversold (RSI<30); else toggle between SPHB (high‑beta) and BTAL (defensive) using QQQ vs its 30‑day average and PSQ’s RSI (inverse QQQ).
Out-of-sample edge: ~65% annualized return vs ~22% for SPY, Calmar ~2.25 vs ~1.18. Dynamic hedging plus a quality tilt aims for bigger upside with disciplined risk control.
