The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Each day it checks four things: trend (are prices above/below long‑term average?), recent winners, how volatile markets are, and whether moves look stretched.<br>If trends are up and calm, it owns aggressive stock funds (S&P 500, Nasdaq, semis).<br>If shaky or down, it shifts to Treasuries, gold, the US dollar, commodities, or even short funds. A small UVXY/managed‑futures sleeve hedges sudden drops.
A daily, rules‑based “all‑weather” strategy with short‑term pop‑signals. It buys aggressive stock funds in calm uptrends and pivots to Treasuries, gold, USD, commodities or shorts when markets weaken, with a small crash hedge for shocks.
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers ~36.4% annual return vs SPY ~21.9%, with Calmar ~1.37 and a regime-aware mix of stocks, bonds, gold, USD and crash hedges to capture upside while managing risk (note higher drawdown potential).
