A contrarian, trend-aware swing system. Each day it picks the worst recent sleeve, then uses simple “hot/cold” and trend checks to flip between turbo tech longs, shorts/volatility hedges, and safety assets. Very aggressive; expect big swings.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
It’s a rules-driven trader that rotates among three prebuilt “risk sleeves.” Each day it oddly picks the sleeve that just did the worst (a bet on a quick bounce). Inside that sleeve, simple signals drive choices:<br>- A hot/cold meter (RSI: 0–100; high=too hot, low=washed out).<br>- Trend filters (is the market above its long-term average?).<br>When cold or trending up: it buys turbo tech/semis (TQQQ, UPRO, TECL, SOXL).<br>When too hot or breaking: it shorts/hedges (SQQQ, SOXS) or buys volatility (UVXY/UVIX).<br>In rough patches it parks in T‑bills, Treasuries, gold, or the US dollar. It sometimes swaps into KMLM (a managed‑futures diversifier) when it beats tech.
