About
A daily trend switchboard that flips between leveraged stock funds when conditions look strong and defensive hedges when they don’t. Uses simple canaries (tech vs utilities), trend lines, bond/cash cues, and an RSI “heat” gauge. High risk; very active.
Each day it asks: are markets friendly or risky? It checks simple “canaries”: tech vs utilities, stock price vs its average lines (moving averages), bonds vs cash, and an inflation‑bond gauge. It also uses RSI, a short‑term “heat” score from 0–100 (high=overheated, low=washed‑out), and the VIX (fear). If risk‑on, it buys the best‑performing leveraged stock funds. If risk‑off, it moves to Treasuries, cash, gold, dollar, utilities, or volatility hedges. Rebalances daily.
Dynamic risk-on/risk-off rotation between leveraged equities and hedges. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~0.79 and beta ~0.8 offer diversification and risk control, while still pursuing upside.
