About

Daily tactical strategy that compares Utilities vs Technology. If Utilities lead, it favors utilities/bonds/cash and other defensive picks; if not, it rides QQQ—unless Tech looks overheated, then it shifts to a risk‑managed basket of utility stocks.
NutHow it works
Each day it compares a “strength” score (RSI: are there more recent gains than losses?) for Tech vs Utilities. If Utilities lead, it rotates among utilities, Treasuries, cash‑like T‑bills, and other defensive picks, with small risk‑on tilts when short‑term trends improve. If Tech leads, it usually holds QQQ; but if Tech looks too hot (score >65), it shifts into a diversified basket of steadier utility stocks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.66 vs SPY ~1.58, beta ~0.53, Calmar ~1.40. Higher risk-adjusted returns with lower market exposure; drawdowns similar to SPY, while adaptive regimes boost resilience and upside capture.
