A layered, volatility-aware mix of “fear cooling” trades (SVIX/SVXY) and a defensive sleeve (SPXS, TMV, GLD, VIXM). It always puts more money into the least bumpy pieces based on recent behavior. Uses leveraged/inverse ETFs; high risk.

It favors the calmest choices. First, it picks the two least bumpy (past 5 days) from: TMV (wins when long-term bonds fall), SVXY (wins when the VIX “fear index” eases), VIXM (wins when fear jumps), GLD (gold) and splits them. Next, it mixes that bundle with SPXS (wins when the S&P 500 falls), giving more to whichever has been calmer (past 10 days). Finally, it mixes that result with SVIX (also wins when fear eases), again giving more to what’s been calmer. Uses leveraged/inverse ETFs; high risk.

Low-beta, volatility-aware sleeve to diversify a core S&P 500. While OOS performance lags and drawdowns can be larger, it seeks to dampen downside in spikes and add resilience through volatility carry in calm markets.
