A tactical emerging‑markets strategy that shifts between leveraged long, inverse, rotating the strongest EM countries, and bonds. It uses trend, overbought/oversold readings, and short‑term momentum to decide when to attack, hedge, or play defense.

Daily, it checks trend: is EM (EEM) in an uptrend? (a fast 8‑day average above a slow 200‑day). If yes and EM is “too hot” (EDC’s RSI—a 0–100 heat gauge—>80), it briefly flips short (EDZ). Otherwise it goes pro‑EM: 35% in the 4 strongest EM country funds (by 60‑day strength), 32% in EDC (3x long EM), 33% in EMXC (EM ex‑China). If not in an uptrend: if very washed‑out (RSI<26) buy EDC for a bounce; else if still weak pick EDZ or BSV (short‑term bonds) by short‑term strength; otherwise hold VWOB (EM gov bonds). Uses 3x ETFs; volatile.

Regime‑aware EM tactical strategy diversifies beyond the S&P, using trend, momentum and hedges to capture EM growth while managing risk. Out‑of‑sample: ~14.9% annualized vs ~21.5% for the S&P; but offers distinct EM exposure and a structured risk framework to complement core U.S. equities.
