A two-mode, volatility-aware rotation: (1) when volatility surges, go all-in VIXM; (2) otherwise, pick the top performer among chips, broad market, commodities, energy, and solar over the past 90 days and go all-in there. No regular rebalancing; concentrates risk in one asset at a time.

Two-mode rule set: - If volatility is high (VIXM momentum reading above 69 on a 40-day window), invest all in VIXM to hedge against fear. - Otherwise, evaluate seven assets (SOXX, NVDA, AMD, SPY, DBC, XLE, ENPH) by how they performed in the last 90 days and put all your money into the single best performer. - Rebalancing is not done on a fixed schedule; asset switches occur only when the trigger conditions fire. The portfolio is always fully invested in one asset at a time (no multi-asset diversification in a single period). - The label “Black Swan Catcher” indicates a defensive hedge during extreme events, while the Rotator aims to ride momentum in sector/market leaders during normal times.

Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted returns: oos Sharpe ~1.41 vs 1.09, annualized return ~82% vs ~18%, Calmar ~1.90. Hedge during spikes, then ride top-performing asset—one asset at a time.
