Rules-based trend strategy: ride bull markets with SSO (2x S&P 500). If markets get overheated or weak, rotate into volatility, bonds, gold, market‑neutral, or short tech to curb drawdowns and still capture rebounds.

It rides uptrends with SSO (2x S&P 500). When things look “too hot” (RSI = a hot/cold meter), it shifts to shock absorbers: VIXY (volatility), BSV (short bonds), or the stronger of TLT (Treasuries) or IAU (gold); sometimes splits with EUM (short EM) + BTAL (market‑neutral). In weak markets, it toggles among PSQ/SQQQ/SH (shorts) or quick rebounds via QLD/SSO, guided by trend lines (moving averages) and oversold signals.

Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~35% annualized return vs S&P's ~16%, with Sharpe ~0.93 vs ~0.84 and Calmar ~1.40— delivering stronger risk-adjusted gains while using hedges to navigate drawdowns.
