A tactical, short‑term strategy. It goes to T‑bills by default, buys UVXY when volatility spikes, deploys ~40% to bounce trades in drawdowns, and when gold surges it buys the most beaten‑down high‑octane ETF for a rebound. Uses RSI and short‑term trend ranks.

It switches between four modes: 1) If gold (UGL, a 2x gold ETF) jumped recently, buy the most beaten‑down ETF from a small basket of high‑octane funds (3x semis/tech/S&P/healthcare or gold) for a short‑term rebound. 2) If the S&P 500’s short‑term volatility spikes, buy UVXY (benefits when fear/volatility surges). 3) If the market’s recent drop is big, put about 40% into “Pop Bots” that try to catch quick bounces using an RSI “hot/cold” gauge (0–100; >80 hot, <30 cold) and short‑term trend ranks; the rest sits in cash. 4) Otherwise, stay in T‑bills (BIL).

Out-of-sample annualized return 39.17% vs SPY ~19.7%, max drawdown 9.84% vs 18.76%, Calmar 3.98, Sharpe ~0.82. A volatility-hedged, gold-driven tactical strategy that aims for higher upside with lower risk than the S&P 500.
