A rules‑based portfolio that tries to front‑run pullbacks: when stocks look overheated it adds “fear” hedges (VIXY, BTAL, EUM); when trends are healthy it rides leaders in tech/sectors, bonds, and commodities, and parks in T‑bills when signals weaken.

Rebalanced daily. It watches trend filters (moving averages) and RSI (a simple “speedometer” of recent gains). If RSI is very high, it shifts to hedges: VIXY (fear index), BTAL (market‑neutral), EUM (inverse EM). Otherwise it holds leaders (e.g., QQQ/XLK, XLF, XLP), or trend‑up trades in bonds (TLT/TMF), gold/oil (GLD, DBO), and EM. If no clear trend, it parks in T‑bills (BIL/SHV). It avoids UVXY, preferring milder VIX exposure (VIXY/VIXM).

Diversified, rule‑based strategy that front‑runs pullbacks with hedges and rotates into leaders. OOS return ~9% with Calmar ~2.56—offering steadier risk‑adjusted performance and true diversification versus the S&P’s higher but noisier ~26% annual gains.
