A rules-based, high-octane strategy that mainly rides or shorts semiconductor momentum, gated by bond-market health. It buys big dips, fades overheated rips, flips to volatility in crashes, and can rotate into energy/commodities or cash/bonds when risk looks poor.

Three parts work together. 1) Crash switch: If market fear gets extreme (a volatility fund’s “heat meter” runs hot), it moves into volatility; otherwise it owns the strongest recent trend among chips, energy, commodities, or a leveraged S&P fund. 2) Main engine (chips-first): It decides risk-on vs risk-off using the bond market (bonds vs cash) and chips vs bearish tech. Then it: - Buys chips after very weak weeks, but checks bonds first. - Hedges/shorts after very big up moves. - If neither extreme, stays long chips when credit looks healthy; otherwise it holds cash/bonds or small hedges. 3) Overlay: A lighter S&P/Nasdaq layer that fades huge up days and buys sharp selloffs, using the same bond check to throttle risk.

Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~35% annualized return with lower beta (~0.81) and positive alpha vs SPY's ~23% and larger drawdowns. It uses crash hedges and sector rotation for better risk-adjusted upside, with higher short-term volatility.
