A daily, rules‑based rotator that rides strong tech/semis in uptrends and quickly shifts to hedges, Treasuries, cash, or commodities when markets overheat or weaken—aiming for big upside with controlled drawdowns.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Daily, it reads four “dials”: stocks’ trend (S&P 500 vs its 200‑day average), heat (RSI: a 0–100 score of how stretched moves are), fear (VIX ETFs), and Treasury trend. If uptrend and calm, it rides the strongest growth funds (TQQQ/SOXL/TECL). If overheated or sliding, it flips to hedges (SQQQ/SOXS/TECS, VXX), Treasuries/cash (TLT/TMF/BIL). If commodities lead, it uses DBC/GLD. It always picks the calmer, better‑behaved sub‑model and rebalances daily.
A daily, rules‑based rotator that rides strong tech/semis in uptrends and quickly shifts to hedges, Treasuries, cash, or commodities when markets overheat or weaken—aiming for big upside with controlled drawdowns.
Out-of-sample upside: 25.37% annualized vs ~20.5% for the S&P, fueled by tech leadership and a rules-based hedging engine. Daily regime-aware rebalancing guards capital with Treasuries/hedges, but expect larger drawdowns (~43.6%) in stress regimes.
