A daily, rules‑based “short volatility” strategy. It prefers SVXY when markets are calm and trending up, flips to UVXY when volatility spikes, uses UPRO in strong stock uptrends, may tactically short tech via SQQQ when overbought, otherwise holds T‑Bills (BIL).

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Each day it picks from five ETFs. Base case: if volatility looks calm and the short‑vol fund (SVXY) is in an uptrend, it owns SVXY. If calm breaks, it may switch to the long‑vol fund (UVXY) when stress is rising, or sit in T‑Bills (BIL). If stocks are trending up, it can use 3x S&P 500 (UPRO). If the market looks extremely hot, it may briefly short tech (SQQQ).

Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~25% annualized returns vs ~16% for the S&P, with lower beta (~0.67), positive alpha, and built-in volatility hedges. Strong growth potential with risk controls—even as stress periods may bring larger drawdowns.
