A Dragon‑style, all‑weather ETF strategy that balances growth with defense. It rotates among stocks, Treasuries, gold, commodities, the U.S. dollar, and volatility hedges using simple trend/stress signals; some sleeves use 3x funds.

Goal: work in booms and busts by splitting money into five sleeves and switching as conditions change. - Crash protection: VIX‑linked funds, Treasuries, and gold turn on when stocks are hot or drop fast. - Trend: holds the 2 strongest of stocks, long Treasuries, gold, commodities, the U.S. dollar, or cash. - Gold core. - Growth: adds U.S. stocks/tech (sometimes 3x) in uptrends; moves to gold/bonds/dollar in stress. - Rates: rotates among long‑bond, short‑bond, dollar, or defensive mixes as rate trends change. Uses simple “traffic lights”: price vs average, depth of recent drop, and choppiness.

Out-of-sample edge: higher returns with tighter risk. OOS annualized return ~28% vs SPY ~22%, Sharpe ~1.63 vs ~1.41, max drawdown ~12% vs ~19%, Calmar ~2.34. More upside with less downside across regimes.
