A rule-based, multi-asset rotation system designed to keep volatility low while pursuing upside. It toggles among leveraged stock bets, hedges, and ballast bonds/gold based on momentum, trend, and volatility signals across a broad ETF universe. Highly complex and regime-driven, not a simple buy-and-hold strategy.

- Purpose: try to grow while keeping risk (volatility) low by rotating among stocks, bonds, commodities, and volatility hedges. - How decisions are made: a large, tree-like set of rules evaluates many assets using momentum and price/return signals. When a rule is satisfied, it selects one or a few assets to own and assigns weights. - Signals used: - Momentum/strength checks (RSI and moving averages): tells whether an asset has recently gained or fallen too fast and whether it’s likely to continue (or reverse). - Price comparisons to moving averages: whether price is above or below longer-term trends helps decide if the market trend is up or down. - Return and volatility metrics (cumulative return, standard deviation of returns): rank assets by how much they have gained recently and how much risk they have. - Windows vary by rule (short-term to multi-year lookbacks like 126, 200, or 252 days). - How exposure is decided: assets are grouped into themes (Frontrunner/Bullish tech, Dip Buy pullbacks, 200D Cross regime checks, Safety ballast like TMF/TMV, HYG risk guard, etc.). Each group uses a combination of top/bottom selections and filters to pick a small set of assets. Often the decision ends with 100% allocation to a single asset in a branch, or a weighted split across a couple of assets within that branch. - What gets traded: a mix of popular market ETFs (like SPY, QQQ, XLK, XLE, GLD) and specialized or leveraged hedges (TECL, SOXL, TQQQ, UPRO, SVXY, VIXY, BTAL, SPXU, SQQQ, TMF, TMV, BIL, UUP, etc.). - How risk is controlled: ballast blocks allocate to defensive assets (bonds, cash-like instruments) and hedges when signals imply rising risk; volatility-related assets (VIXY, SVXY, VIXM) appear as hedges or regime indicators. - Rebalancing: the plan uses a small rebalance corridor (0.05) and indicates rebalance is not automatic, implying allocations may adjust only when rules dictate or when signals cross thresholds. - Overall idea: a dense, multi-factor, rule-based system that aims to be defensively positioned during stress and aggressively positioned during favorable trends, while using a wide net of assets to diversify risk and attempt smoother performance relative to a plain stock-only approach.

Automated multi-asset rotation aims for smoother gains and lower market risk. With beta ~0.43 and drawdowns near SPY, plus ballast hedges, it offers steadier risk-adjusted growth and better downturn protection versus the S&P 500.
