About

An aggressive, daily‑rotating system: short weak indexes first, flip to leveraged longs if they stabilize, or sit in T‑Bills. Adds volatility and Treasury hedges, plus a bond‑stress module for diversification.
NutHow it works
Daily, it looks at 4 big stock buckets (S&P 500, Nasdaq‑100, small caps, Dow) and trades the 2 weakest. If the “bear” fund is trending up, it bets against that bucket; if not, and momentum looks OK (RSI), it buys the bull fund; otherwise it holds T‑Bills. Separately, if fear spikes or bonds wobble, it shifts into Treasury trades (long or short) or VIX hedges, and may use a managed‑futures fund for diversification.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample underperforms: -19.2% annualized vs +18% for the S&P; max drawdown 30.7% vs 18.8%. It adds volatility and rate hedges for diversification, not core growth—designed for risk management and tail-risk protection.
