About
Own the single strongest trend (chips, energy, commodities, SPY, solar). If market fear spikes, switch into VIXM to profit from volatility. Momentum with a simple crash-catcher.
Two steps:
1) Crash alarm: it checks a “fear gauge” using RSI on VIXM. RSI is like a speedometer of recent moves; if it reads hot (>69) on VIXM (a fund that jumps when markets panic), buy VIXM.
2) Otherwise, own the recent 3‑month leader among SPY (US stocks), SOXX/NVDA/AMD (chips), DBC (commodities), XLE (energy), ENPH (solar). One holding at a time; switch when the leader changes or weight drifts >5%.
Out-of-sample edge: ~45% annualized return vs SPY ~21%, with Calmar ~1.04. It targets the strongest momentum across chips, energy, and commodities and uses a VIX-based crash hedge. Bigger upside, explicit crash protection, vs the S&P 500.
