A daily, rules‑based “risk‑on/off” rotation. Own QQQ when its long‑term trend is up; otherwise use volatility‑and‑gold cues plus momentum to switch among GLD, BTAL, KMLM, cash, or, in high‑conviction cases, TQQQ/SQQQ.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
It’s a daily “risk‑on/off” switch. If QQQ (big Nasdaq‑100) is above its 175‑day average, it owns QQQ (sometimes TQQQ, a 3× long version). If not, it reads fear (VIXM, a volatility gauge) vs gold (GLD) and recent winners to rotate among defense: KMLM (managed‑futures trend), BTAL (market‑neutral low‑ vs high‑risk stocks), GLD, or cash (BIL). If things worsen, it can use SQQQ (−3×). Signals: trend (moving average), recent returns, and RSI (a short‑term “heat” meter).
A daily, rules‑based “risk‑on/off” rotation. Own QQQ when its long‑term trend is up; otherwise use volatility‑and‑gold cues plus momentum to switch among GLD, BTAL, KMLM, cash, or, in high‑conviction cases, TQQQ/SQQQ.
High-conviction value: A rules-based risk-on/off rotation seeking higher OOS performance (~29.1% annualized vs SPY's 23.6%), with strong risk-adjusted metrics (OOS Sharpe ~1.53, Calmar ~2.59) and diversified defenses. OOS drawdown ~11.2% vs SPY ~8.9%.
