A daily trend strategy with a volatility “kill‑switch.” It parks in T‑Bills when fear surges; otherwise it blends six lookbacks to go long or short via leveraged sector/bond funds, sizing positions by recent volatility.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Daily: 1) Panic switch: if VIXM (a fund tied to market “fear”) has jumped sharply (RSI>70), hold BIL (T‑Bills).<br>2) Else split into 6 lookbacks (100–600 days). In each, if US stocks (SPY) beat commodities (DBC), use a Bull basket—leveraged tech/health/financials/long bonds (TQQQ,CURE,FAS,TMF); else a Bear basket—inverse versions + short‑vol (SQQQ,FAZ,TMV,SVXY).<br>3) Inside a basket, weight by 1/vol (20‑day).
A daily trend strategy with a volatility “kill‑switch.” It parks in T‑Bills when fear surges; otherwise it blends six lookbacks to go long or short via leveraged sector/bond funds, sizing positions by recent volatility.
Out-of-sample: beta ~0.70, annualized return ~19.6%, max drawdown ~23.3%, Sharpe ~0.99, Calmar ~0.84. A six-lookback, volatility-kill-switch strategy that shifts to Treasuries in stress, offering diversified upside with lower market risk vs SPY.
Added a 100 day crossover line. Added Inverse Volatility functions in place of the search functions. Altered the VIXM Black Swan Catcher.
