The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Each day: 1) Check fear (UVXY). If its short‑term strength score beats its longer‑term score, assume turbulence and pick the “calmest” safety from BTAL (anti‑beta stocks), VBF (bonds), VDC (staples), or UGL (2x gold) by the smallest 5‑day drop. 2) Else check UCC (cyclical). If strong, go risk‑on and buy the hottest 2x–3x bull ETF: SPXL (S&P 500), TQQQ (Nasdaq‑100), ERX (Energy), CURE (Health), UDOW (Dow), UPW (Utilities), or UCC. 3) Else hold BTAL or SJB (inverse junk bonds). Rebalanced daily.
A daily, single‑position, risk‑on/risk‑off momentum strategy: rising fear → pick a safe haven; strong cyclicals → buy the strongest 2x–3x stock ETF; otherwise hold a defensive hedge. Uses short‑ vs long‑term strength scores.
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted terms: Sharpe 1.65 vs 1.37, Calmar ~3.0, and stronger upside capture through disciplined single-position, daily risk-on/risk-off momentum with hedges.
