A fast, tactical strategy that flips between offense and defense daily. It uses trend and “hot/cold” signals to own strong stocks and commodities in uptrends, but buys volatility or inverse funds—or sits in T‑bills—when risk rises.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Each day it asks: is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its long‑term average? If no, it goes defensive: cash‑like T‑bills (BIL/SHV) plus bearish Nasdaq funds (SQQQ/PSQ) or BTAL. If yes, it spreads across: (1) a ‘front‑runner’ that buys volatility (UVXY) when prices look too hot (RSI high) and buys 3× stock funds (TQQQ/UPRO) when too cold (RSI low); (2) momentum sleeves that hold the strongest ETFs (SPY/QQQ, sectors, and commodities like DBC/GLD/SLV/oil) only while they trend; (3) bond/commodity checks that can switch to an inflation‑hedge mix. Rebalances daily.
A fast, tactical strategy that flips between offense and defense daily. It uses trend and “hot/cold” signals to own strong stocks and commodities in uptrends, but buys volatility or inverse funds—or sits in T‑bills—when risk rises.
Out-of-sample, this tactical, regime-switching strategy shows superior risk-adjusted performance vs SPY: Sharpe 1.61 vs 1.13, Calmar 3.27, and annualized return ~95% vs ~19%, thanks to diversified trend, volatility, and hedging sleeves.
