Daily, it switches between defense and offense by comparing “fear” (VIXM) vs “calm” (SVXY) momentum. In fear: hold BTAL and 3 defensive picks or hedge with BTAL + a weak index fund. In calm: own the 2 strongest leveraged stock‑market funds.

Each day it asks: is fear or calm in charge? It compares recent momentum (a simple up‑vs‑down “speedometer” called RSI) of VIXM (fear rises) vs SVXY (fear falls). If fear wins, it hedges: 50% in BTAL (a defensive long‑low/short‑high risk fund) and 50% in 3 defensive picks (from Walmart, Utilities, Staples, Costco, UnitedHealth, or energy long/short) with the best short‑term trend. If BTAL isn’t in a long‑term uptrend (price below its 300‑day average), it instead splits between BTAL and the weaker of SSO or QLD. If calm wins, it goes on offense: own the 2 strongest of SSO (2x S&P 500), QLD (2x Nasdaq 100), UDOW (3x Dow), and DIG (2x Energy). Rebalanced daily.

Out-of-sample: ~31% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P, lower max drawdown (~13% vs ~19%), and higher Sharpe. A regime-switching strategy that defends in volatility and rides rallies with targeted leverage.
