A tactical, defensive system. In overheated markets it buys VXX; in deeply oversold tech it buys XLK; otherwise it owns the stronger of SVOL or VTI when calm, or BTAL when not. Rebalanced daily to adapt to market mood.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Every day it checks a “speedometer” (RSI) on big US stocks (QQQ/SPY). If that meter says markets are extremely hot (RSI>80), it buys VXX, which tends to jump when fear spikes. If tech looks washed out (RSI<30), it buys XLK. Otherwise, if SVOL (profits when markets are calm) is trending up, it picks the stronger of SVOL or VTI (total US stocks). If not, it holds BTAL, a defensive long/short fund.

Adaptive, regime-aware sleeve with low beta (~0.37) and hedges (VXX/SVOL/BTAL) to diversify risk. OOS shows ~14.9% annualized return with Calmar ~0.41, complementing the S&P 500’s ~19.3% and potentially damping volatility across regimes.
