The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
RSI is a short-term “heat meter” (0–100): above ~80 = overheated, below ~30 = washed out.<br>- 54% Core: When stocks run hot, it shifts to a volatility fund (VIXY) plus Treasuries (TLT) and Gold (GLD). Otherwise it rotates among tech/growth (XLK, QQQ), bonds, gold, utilities, or an inverse Nasdaq hedge (PSQ).<br>- 27% Simpler copy: Quick flips among VIXY, XLK/VUG, and GLD using the same heat/trend checks.<br>- 19% Booster: Uses leveraged funds (TQQQ, TMF, TMV, SQQQ) when trends favor them; otherwise dials back to VUG.

Out-of-sample, this strategy offers smoother, more resilient gains: max drawdown 11.7% vs 18.8% for SPY, Calmar ~1.10. Hedge with VIXY/GLD/TLT. Returns 12.9% vs SPY's 17.8%, but far stronger downside protection.
