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-driven EM strategy blending leveraged bets with diversification sleeves to capture EM upside while controlling risk. OOS: 17.3% annualized return, max drawdown 29.5%, Calmar 0.59. Diversification and potential EM alpha complement the S&P 500.
