A daily, rule-based strategy that (1) targets a Nuclear Energy Portfolio (SMR, BWXT, LEU, EXC, NLR, OKLO) via momentum/ranking signals, (2) switches to volatility/anti-beta hedges (UVXY, BTAL) in downturns, and (3) may tilt to leveraged or short Nasdaq bets when momentum is very strong or very weak.

Plain-language overview of how it operates: - Purpose: capture a secular theme (nuclear energy) while managing risk in volatile markets. - Core long: a Nuclear Energy Portfolio comprised of SMR, BWXT, LEU, EXC, NLR, OKLO. The system screens these names for momentum (longer-term performance) and a filter that favors stronger trending names, then picks the top 3 to hold. - Signals for mood: it watches broad-market proxies (eg SPY for the S&P 500, QQQ for the Nasdaq) and other widely followed ETFs to decide if the market is in an up (Bull) or down (Bear) state. It uses simple momentum checks (roughly 10-day windows) and moving averages to gauge strength. - Bear/hedge overlay: when risk is high, it shifts into hedges: UVXY (a volatility-focused ETF) and BTAL (a market-neutral hedge fund) are combined, often with a 75%/25% split to create a protective ballast. - Short tail protection: if downside momentum is severe, the system can tilt into short Nasdaq ETFs (like SQQQ or PSQ) to dampen losses. - Rebalance cadence: this is a daily-rebalanced system, so weights and selections are updated every trading day. - Outcome aim: maintain exposure to a defined nuclear-energy theme while using hedges to reduce drawdowns in bear markets and opportunistically add leverage when momentum supports it.

Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.50 vs SPY ~0.91; Calmar ~3.01; annualized return ~177% vs ~16%. Nuclear-energy long with hedges and Nasdaq tilts targets higher risk-adjusted upside than the S&P 500, with built-in downside protection.
