A tactical portfolio that rides calm tech uptrends with leveraged ETFs, then quickly shifts to volatility hedges, T‑Bills, bonds, gold, or the US dollar when markets overheat or turn risky.

Plain English: it’s a safety‑first, rules‑based swing strategy. When US stocks (esp. tech) are rising calmly, it rides the wave using 3x tech funds (TECL/TQQQ). It watches a “heat meter” (RSI), simple trends (price vs recent average), and fear gauges (VIX). If prices pop too fast or fear rises, it flips to hedges (UVXY/VIXM), or sits in T‑Bills (BIL). In weak markets it prefers bonds (BND/IEF/TMF), gold (GLD), the US dollar (UUP/USDU), or defensive sectors (XLP/XLU/XLV).

Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted performance (Sharpe ~1.97 vs SPY ~1.39) with much smaller drawdowns (6.4% vs 18.8%), and Calmar ~3.01. It rides tech rallies and hedges stress, reducing tail risk vs the S&P 500.
