About
Daily, it rotates among fear funds (VIXY/SVXY), the market (SPY), aggressive tech (TQQQ), or a defensive fund (BTAL) using simple hot/cold and trend checks to lean into rebounds, fade extremes, or play defense.
Each day it checks simple “heat” scores (RSI over 10 days) for QQQ (big tech) and SPY (broad U.S. market). If they’re very hot (>80), it buys VIXY, a fund that jumps when market fear (VIX) spikes. If QQQ is very cold (<30), it buys TQQQ, a 3× tech fund, to play a rebound. Otherwise, if SVXY (rises when fear fades) is above its 21‑day average price (an uptrend), it holds whichever of SVXY or SPY has the stronger last‑20‑day run. If not, it parks in BTAL, a defensive, market‑neutral fund.
Out-of-sample return: 23.11% vs SPY 21.96%, with positive alpha and Calmar 1.45, driven by daily volatility-timing across VIXY/SPY/TQQQ/BTAL. Seeks higher upside and diversification, but with larger drawdowns and lower Sharpe than SPY.
