A rules-based, multi-asset portfolio that rides strong trends and adds hedges when markets get shaky. It mixes stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies and managed futures, with occasional use of leveraged and volatility funds to adapt quickly.

Rules pick assets by recent trend and risk. In calm uptrends it leans into US stocks (sometimes 3x funds like TQQQ/UPRO). Core includes NTSX (stocks+Treasuries). If stress shows (big drops, high volatility), it pivots to shock absorbers: gold (GLD), Treasuries (TMF), the U.S. dollar (UUP/USDU), managed futures (DBMF), and sometimes volatility (UVXY). It also runs trend sleeves in sectors, countries and commodities. Position sizes favor steadier assets. No fixed rebalance.

Out-of-sample edge with strong risk control: Sharpe ~1.34, Calmar ~1.17, beta ~0.45, max drawdown ~13.2% vs SPY ~18.8%. Diversified trend hedges offer crisis resilience and steadier, risk-adjusted gains vs the S&P 500.
