Rules-based rotation that uses a trend filter and a “hot/cold” gauge (RSI) to toggle between leveraged tech, safety bonds, and volatility hedges. It buys dips, hedges when markets run hot, and cross-checks bonds, dollar, and gold to avoid bad shorts.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
First, is the market trending up? (SPY above its 200‑day average.) If yes, it prefers growth (TQQQ = 3x big tech) unless things look too “hot” (RSI = a hot/cold gauge), then it hedges with SQQQ or UVXY (inverse tech/vol). If no, it buys dips in tech when very “cold”; otherwise it parks in short‑term bonds (SHY/SHV/STIP). Before shorting, it cross‑checks Treasuries (TLT), the US dollar (UUP/UDN), and gold (UGL). A side sleeve (“VIXen”) adds/removes volatility hedges as markets heat/cool. High risk.
Rules-based rotation that uses a trend filter and a “hot/cold” gauge (RSI) to toggle between leveraged tech, safety bonds, and volatility hedges. It buys dips, hedges when markets run hot, and cross-checks bonds, dollar, and gold to avoid bad shorts.
Out-of-sample: ~52% annualized return vs SPY ~21.7%, with Calmar ~1.67, meaning strong risk-adjusted growth. Hedges and trend rules aim for bigger upside, but drawdowns can be larger than SPY—best for investors who can weather higher risk.
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
