Rules-based, tech‑tilted swing strategy. In uptrends it rides Nasdaq with TQQQ unless overheated, then hedges with SQQQ/UVXY. In downtrends it buys dips or shifts to bonds, cash, dollar or gold using simple “too hot/too cold” (RSI) tests.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
1) Check trend: Is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average (a long‑term trend line)?<br>• If yes, ride tech with leveraged Nasdaq (TQQQ). If it gets “too hot” by an RSI score (a 0–100 heat gauge), briefly hedge with inverse/volatility funds (SQQQ/UVXY).<br>• If no, buy sharp sell‑offs or rotate among growth, cash/short‑term Treasuries, long Treasuries, the U.S. dollar or gold, always picking within pairs by RSI.
Rules-based, tech‑tilted swing strategy. In uptrends it rides Nasdaq with TQQQ unless overheated, then hedges with SQQQ/UVXY. In downtrends it buys dips or shifts to bonds, cash, dollar or gold using simple “too hot/too cold” (RSI) tests.
Out-of-sample: regime-aware RSI strategy delivering ~71.8% annualized return vs SPY ~20.9%, Calmar ~1.76 and Sharpe ~1.26. It rides tech rallies but hedges with bonds, USD and gold, offering bigger upside with disciplined downside protection.
V2 takes Dereck's 'Holy Grail Simplified' and adds RSI sorting pairs at every point in the strategy. Changed 200d SMA check to SPY. Added 'Buy The Dips' mean reversion in the bearish leg of the strategy. When shorting, added SQQQ checks against bullish dollars (UUP) and gold (UGL) . Finally, added updated VIXen anti-beta strategy to boost returns and lower drawdown. -HinnomTX
