A two-part system: buy sharp dips or bet on brief volatility spikes, and otherwise rotate among tech, bonds, commodities, gold miners, and the US dollar based on 6‑month trends—with a safety switch to short‑term Treasuries when fear spikes.

It runs two playbooks and picks one based on simple signals. 1) Short‑term “Pop” trades: - If a 10‑day momentum score (RSI) says key stock funds have fallen fast (below 30), buy the 3x version to play for a quick rebound (TQQQ, SPXL, SOXL). - If that score says they’ve run up too fast (above 80), buy UVXY, which jumps when fear suddenly rises. 2) If no “Pop,” use a 6‑month scoreboard: - Compare how stocks (SPY), bonds (TLT), commodities (DBC) and the US dollar (UUP) have done. - Hold two choices that fit the winning theme (e.g., tech + bonds, commodities + gold miners, tech + dollar), giving more weight to the calmer one. 3) If market fear (VIXM) is extremely hot, sit in short‑term Treasuries (SHY).

Out-of-sample edge: ~24% annualized return vs SPY’s ~23%, with Calmar ~0.78 and Sharpe ~0.79. Regime-rotation plus volatility hedges aim for higher upside with managed risk, though drawdowns can be larger in stress.
