Simple game plan: in healthy markets hold SPY. When the market weakens, either buy tech (XLK) only after sharp drops in QQQ (RSI<30) or sit defensively in consumer staples (XLP). Backtested daily since 1999, spanning the dot‑com crash.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Each day: 1) Check if SPY (fund of top 500 US stocks) is above its 200‑day average price (a long‑term trend line). If yes, own SPY. 2) If not, look at QQQ’s 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 “how hard it fell” gauge). If RSI < 30 (tech just dropped fast), buy XLK (tech stocks). Otherwise, hold XLP (defensive consumer‑staples stocks).
Simple game plan: in healthy markets hold SPY. When the market weakens, either buy tech (XLK) only after sharp drops in QQQ (RSI<30) or sit defensively in consumer staples (XLP). Backtested daily since 1999, spanning the dot‑com crash.
Out-of-sample edge: 25.14% annualized return vs 21.80% S&P, Sharpe 1.56 vs 1.34, drawdown 11% vs 18.8%, Calmar 2.29. Tactical rotations to tech dips or defensive staples deliver higher risk-adjusted gains with lower downside.
