About

A rules‑based, multi‑asset “offense/defense” system. In uptrends it buys dips in tech/energy with leveraged ETFs; when markets overheat or break, it moves to cash‑like bonds, gold, dollar, or volatility hedges. High risk; expect big swings.
NutHow it works
It first checks if stocks are trending up (SPY/QQQ above long‑term averages). If yes, it buys dips in growth using leveraged funds like TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) or UPRO (3x S&P). If prices pop too fast, it briefly parks in T‑Bills (BIL) or buys UVXY (volatility hedge). If trend breaks or volatility jumps, it shifts to safer assets (BIL, GLD, USDU, XLP), sometimes uses inverse funds (SQQQ), and trend‑trades energy/oil (XLE, DIG, UCO) and bonds (TLT/TMF vs TMV). “RSI” is a 0–100 heat meter: <30=very cold (buy dips), >80=very hot (hedge).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~33.7% annualized return vs 17.1% for the S&P, with higher Sharpe (~1.06) and Calmar (~1.75). Drawdowns ~19.2% vs ~18.8%, but diversification targets bigger upside and hedged risk.
