A daily, rules-driven “risk on/off” system. It chases strong uptrends (often tech, semis, or long Treasuries, sometimes with leverage) and shifts to safety or hedges (T‑bills, dollar, gold, VIX/inverse) when markets get overheated or fragile.

It’s a rules-based “risk switch.” Each day it checks three dials: trend (is price above/below its average?), heat (a 0–100 speedometer of buying/selling), and choppiness (volatility/drawdowns). If calm and trending up, it owns fast movers (often tech/semis or long Treasuries, sometimes with leverage). If hot or breaking down, it shifts to T‑bills, dollar, gold, or hedges (VIX/inverse funds). It also favors sub‑systems that recently earned more with less chop.

Out-of-sample, this rules-based strategy beats the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe 1.87 vs 1.19) with smaller drawdowns (7.5% vs 18.8%) and solid risk control (Calmar 2.84) over 429 days.
