A daily, rule-based strategy that switches among QQQ (tech), SPY (broad market), and GLD (gold) using short-term momentum (QQQ RSI) and trend (SPY vs 200-day MA) signals, with equal-weighted positions when active, aiming to ride uptrends while hedging with gold.

- Every day, evaluate three ETFs: QQQ (tech equities), SPY (broad market), and GLD (gold). - Core signals come from: (a) QQQ’s 10-day RSI (momentum), (b) SPY’s current price relative to its 200-day moving average (trend). - If QQQ RSI(10) > 79 (extremely overbought), tilt toward GLD (hedge) instead of remaining fully in equities. - If SPY trades above its 200-day moving average, equities are in an uptrend and you may allocate to QQQ/SPY; otherwise equity exposure is reduced or redirected toward GLD/cash. - If QQQ RSI(10) drops below 31 (oversold), tilt back toward QQQ, provided the SPY trend condition is favorable. - Additional cross-checks compare short-term GLD movements with QQQ (e.g., GLD’s moving-average signals against QQQ’s price) to confirm hedging decisions. - Weights are kept equal across the active assets (wt-cash-equal with 100/100 when the condition block is active). - Rebalance happens daily, adjusting holdings to reflect the latest signals and the equal-weight rule. - Asset focus: primarily equities with a gold hedge; overall exposure classified as EQUITIES in the system, but GLD acts as a hedge vehicle rather than a pure equity. - Practical note: like all momentum/threshold-based systems, it can underperform in range-bound markets and incur higher turnover from daily rebalancing.

Adaptive, rule-based trio: QQQ, SPY, GLD with daily rebalancing. Out-of-sample Calmar 1.54 signals strong risk-adjusted returns and diversification beyond the S&P, with a built-in gold hedge to help protect capital in volatility.
