A fast, rules‑based trader that rides uptrends with 3x stock ETFs (TQQQ/SPXL), jumps into volatility (UVIX) when markets look overheated, and hedges with BTAL/T‑bills or inverse ETFs in downtrends. It selects the two best sub‑systems each day.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Each day it: 1) Checks the S&P 500 trend (200‑day avg). 2) Uses RSI—a 0‑100 “hotness” score—to spot extremes across SPY, IOO, VOOV/VTV, QQQE, XLF, TQQQ. Uptrends: if overheated, buy UVIX (2x ‘fear’) plus BIL (T‑bills) and BTAL (defensive). If not, ride TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) or SPXL (3x S&P). Downtrends: use PSQ/SQQQ (inverse Nasdaq), BTAL or short‑term bonds. It picks the two best sub‑modules and rebalances daily.

Out-of-sample shows higher risk-adjusted gains: oos Sharpe ~1.36 vs SPY ~1.17, Calmar ~2.36. Regime-aware leverage + volatility hedges aim for bigger upside than the S&P, with higher drawdowns (~33% vs ~19%).
