About
A daily, rules‑based plan: buy 3× stock funds only on deep dips; otherwise sit in a diversified “Safety Town” mix, with a volatility overlay that hedges when markets look overheated by briefly owning UVXY.
Each day the system checks a short‑term “hot/cold” meter (RSI) on fast‑moving stock funds. If it looks overheated, it buys UVXY (a crash hedge that jumps when fear spikes). Otherwise it buys sharp dips in SPXL/TQQQ/SOXL (3× S&P 500/Nasdaq/semis). If no dip, it parks in a defensive mix (gold, staples, managed futures, US dollar, T‑bills) plus a volatility sleeve that flips between fear (UVXY+VIXM) and calm (SVXY+BTAL/VIXM). RSI≈0–100; <30=cold, >70=hot.
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets bigger upside: ~32.6% annualized vs SPY ~22.7%, with Calmar ~1.33—strong risk-adjusted gains despite higher drawdowns, aided by hedges and dip-buying to capture rebounds.
