About
A tactical, rules-based strategy that flips between S&P 500 exposure, bonds/cash, shorts, and occasional volatility or tech bounce trades based on long-term trend and short-term “heat” (RSI) readings. High risk due to leveraged and inverse funds.
1) First, it checks if the S&P 500 is above its long-term trend (200‑day average).
2) If yes: it usually holds S&P 500 funds (VOO/UPRO). If the market is “red hot” (RSI ~80+), it may switch to volatility funds (UVIX/UVXY) or add cash.
3) If no: it either shorts stocks, moves to Treasuries/cash, or takes rare oversold bounce trades (TECL).
RSI is a 0–100 “heat meter”: >70–80 very hot, <30 very cold.
Out-of-sample edge: higher risk-adjusted return and alpha vs the S&P. Sharpe ~1.02 vs 0.76; annualized return ~34.7% vs 9.6%; Calmar ~3.30; max drawdown ~10.5%. Fueled by trend and volatility signals.
