The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
1) Checks fear first: if volatility (UVXY) is spiking, it holds VXX (a VIX‑linked hedge).<br>2) Reads trend via moving averages (average price over X days) on TLT (bonds) and SPY (stocks).<br>3) Goes offensive (pick 1 leveraged 3x stock ETF—TQQQ=Nasdaq, SOXL=Semis, TECL=Tech, SPXL/UPRO=S&P) or defensive (TMF/TMV=3x long/short Treasuries, or VXX).<br>4) Uses RSI (0–100; low=oversold, high=overbought) and recent returns to buy dips or hedge when hot.
A fast, rules-based trader that toggles between leveraged stock ETFs, leveraged Treasury ETFs, and VIX hedges. It reads trends and “stretched” conditions to buy sharp dips, ride leaders, or step aside when fear or overheating appears.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~38% vs SPY ~18%, driven by regime-switching to leveraged ETFs and VIX hedges. Higher drawdowns (~60%) accompany a greater upside capture in trending markets.
