About
A daily trend “switchboard” that flips between leveraged stock ETFs in uptrends and a momentum-picked basket of defensive assets when conditions worsen, guided by multiple market health gauges (tech vs utilities, lumber vs gold, bonds vs cash, volatility).
It watches several “market health” gauges (for example: is the S&P 500 above key averages? Is tech beating utilities? Is lumber beating gold? Are bonds beating cash? Is volatility spiking?).
• If the gauges say risk-on, it buys 2–3 of the fastest-rising stock funds (often 3x versions of the S&P 500, Nasdaq‑100, or Dow).
• If they say risk-off, it rotates into the 3–4 strongest “safe havens” (long/short long‑term Treasuries, US dollar, commodities, gold, utilities, volatility ETFs, or T‑bills).
It rechecks and rebalances daily and even picks the best recent sub‑models to follow.
An adaptive, daily trend strategy that rotates between leveraged equity rallies and safe-haven momentum. Out-of-sample returns exceed the S&P 500 (≈37% vs 25% annualized) with solid risk-adjusted metrics, though drawdowns can be larger in downturns.
