A daily “pop bot” that checks leadership (Tech vs Staples), fear (VIX), and big surges in a 3x Nasdaq fund (TQQQ). It often fades pops by buying volatility or shorting tech, parks in T‑Bills when no edge, and occasionally buys oversold bounces.

Daily steps: 1) Is tech (XLK) stronger than safety stocks (XLP)? 2) Is fear rising (VIX funds like VIXY)? 3) Did the Nasdaq 100 (via TQQQ, a 3x fund) have a huge up day (>~5.5%) or get very hot/cold (RSI, a 0–100 “heat” score)? Big pops are usually faded by buying volatility (UVXY/VIXM) or shorting tech (TECS). If no signal, it parks in T‑Bills (BIL). Sometimes, after selloffs, it buys TECL/SOXL/TMF for a bounce. High risk; rebalanced daily.

Edge vs S&P: out-of-sample ~26% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.42 vs SPY ~1.25, drawdown ~13.4% vs ~18.8%, beta ~0.08. Higher risk-adjusted upside with lower market risk in real history.
