About
A fast, one‑trade‑at‑a‑time switcher: fade “too‑hot” markets via UVXY, buy sharp tech/market dips with 3x bulls, or sit in diversifiers (KMLM/FTLS/UUP) when tech lags. Chooses among 4 similar playbooks by recent movement. High risk, big swings.
It hunts for extremes using a simple “hot/cold” score (RSI). If many stock/sector funds look too hot, it briefly buys UVXY (a fund that jumps when markets drop). If tech/semis/markets look washed out, it buys 3x bull funds (TECL/SOXL/SPXL). Otherwise it compares Tech vs KMLM (managed futures): if Tech is stronger, it buys the dip in TECL/SOXL or short‑vol (SVIX); if not, it parks in diversifiers like KMLM/FTLS/UUP or sometimes TLT/SQQQ. It runs 4 close variants and uses the one moving most lately. Uses very risky, swingy ETFs.
Regime-smart, 4-playbook strategy diversifies a SPY core with tech bets, volatility hedges, and managed futures for crisis swings. Out-of-sample: ~16.4% annualized vs SPY 29.2%; higher drawdowns, but potential gains in regime shifts.
