Daily tactical strategy that toggles between volatility hedges, defensive shorts, and contrarian bets in high‑beta ETFs. It reacts to steep Nasdaq drops and pops, checks S&P choppiness, and uses a simple bonds‑vs‑tech strength gauge to choose baskets.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
It rebalances daily. 1) If a 3× Nasdaq fund (TQQQ) crashed over ~1 week but then jumps in a day, it buys volatility (VIXY ~25%) and spreads the rest across defensive/short funds (inverse stocks, dollar, bonds). 2) Else, if the S&P 500’s swings have been unusually large, it holds the two calmest picks from bond/volatility funds. 3) Else, it compares bonds vs tech with a simple hot/cold score (RSI = balance of recent up vs down days). If bonds look stronger, it buys recent losers among bullish high‑beta ETFs; if tech looks stronger, it buys recent losers among bearish ETFs.
Daily tactical strategy that toggles between volatility hedges, defensive shorts, and contrarian bets in high‑beta ETFs. It reacts to steep Nasdaq drops and pops, checks S&P choppiness, and uses a simple bonds‑vs‑tech strength gauge to choose baskets.
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers ~60% annualized returns vs ~23% for the S&P, with a Calmar 1.27—meaning strong upside with controlled tail risk. Note higher drawdowns (≈47%) and active, daily regime-based rotations.
