About
A high‑octane, daily‑tuned mix of leveraged stock, bond, and volatility funds. It parks in cash after sharp drops, bets on volatility spikes when markets look overheated, and rotates among 3× long/short tech and Treasuries based on trend and stress.
It splits your money across 3 fast‑moving playbooks, checked daily.
1) Safety/Overheat: after a sharp S&P 500 drop it parks in cash (BIL). If markets look “too hot” (RSI = heat gauge), it buys VIX funds; if “washed out,” it buys 3× stock funds; else follows a long‑term trend gate.
2) Bonds: flips between 3× long vs 3× short long‑Treasuries (TMF/TMV)—and sometimes tech (TQQQ)—using trend lines, recent max drop, and choppiness.
3) Volatility: when VIX is jumpy it plays defense; when calm it often “sells vol” (SVIX) unless extremes, and may flip to UVIX, TQQQ/SQQQ, or cash.
Out-of-sample, this strategy cuts downside to ~9% vs SPY's ~16%, offers a strong Calmar ~2.02, and ~18.36% annualized return—nearly SPY's 20.18% but with far less drawdown and a diversified, risk-controlled engine.
