A daily, rule-based, multi-asset approach that blends leveraged long bets on tech/semi with bear bets and defensive bonds/cash, guided by momentum, trend, and volatility signals to tilt between risk-on and risk-off en route to a balanced, potentially higher-variance return profile.

- What it is: a dense, rule-based system that daily allocates capital across many ETFs, including leveraged longs (e.g., TQQQ, TECL, SOXL) and leveraged bears (e.g., SQQQ, SOXS), plus broad-market (SPY, QQQ) and defensive assets (BIL, SHY, IEF, TMF, TMV, USDU, GLD, PDBC, EPI). It also uses bond proxies and cash-like vehicles as safeties. - How it makes decisions: the engine runs a large set of if-then rules organized into groups. Signals come from momentum and trend indicators explained below, and each signal points toward a subset of assets and a weight. Then a final set of weights is produced and applied to build a diversified portfolio. The system re-evaluates and rebalances daily. - Signals used (in plain terms): - Momentum/trend signals: checks whether an asset appears to be trending upward or downward (roughly, is its price rising or falling over recent periods). It uses simple trend checks like “is the price above or below a longer-term average” and “is the recent return better or worse than a benchmark.” These are implemented with criteria that look at price versus moving averages and recent performance. - Strength signals: compares relative strength versus other assets (for example, how strong is a basket like QQQ vs SPY). When a signal says a ticker is “overbought” (too strong) or “oversold” (too weak), the engine may trim or tilt toward hedges. - Momentum/RSI-style read: a momentum metric (an RSI-like score) flags when a sector or theme is unusually strong or weak; extreme readings trigger hedges or exits. - Volatility/defensive risk signals: elevated volatility signals push the portfolio toward safe assets (short-term Treasuries, longer-term Treasuries, or cash proxies) and away from aggressive levered bets. - What gets tilted: long exposure in tech/semis via TQQQ, TECL, SOXL when momentum is favorable; hedges via SQQQ/SOXS when risk signals rise; defensive positioning via BIL, SHY, IEF, TMF, TMV, USDU, GLD, PDBC, EPI when volatility or risk metrics warn. - Why this mix: the goal is to capture upside from strong market regimes (especially technology and semiconductors) while maintaining a safety net with bonds, cash proxies, and non-correlated assets to limit drawdowns during stress. - Practical considerations: the strategy relies on many ETFs and frequent turnover, which can incur higher fees, roll costs, and compounding effects with leveraged vehicles. It’s best suited for an investor comfortable with complexity, monitoring, and the risks of leveraged products.

Out-of-sample edge: ~29% annualized return vs SPY ~21%, Calmar ~1.25. Leverages tech/semis upside with hedges and defensives for growth with risk control. Higher potential, but larger drawdowns and costs than the S&P 500.
