A fast‑twitch, rules‑based strategy that flips between leveraged tech/semis, volatility (UVXY), bearish funds, and safe havens. It sells euphoria, buys panic, and uses VIX and bond signals to decide when to risk on or hide out.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
It aims to sell euphoria and buy panic using simple signals.<br>RSI = 0–100 ‘too hot/too cold’ gauge. UVXY = short‑term fear (VIX). TECL/TQQQ/SOXL = 3x bull tech/Nasdaq/semis. SOXS/TECS/SQQQ = 3x bear. TMF/TMV = long/short long‑Treasuries. BIL = T‑bills.<br>When RSI is very high or 1‑day pops, it hedges with UVXY/bears. When very low or big drops, it buys 3x tech/semis. Calm uptrends? ride tech. Rising fear/weak bonds? move to bonds, cash, gold, or market‑neutral.
A fast‑twitch, rules‑based strategy that flips between leveraged tech/semis, volatility (UVXY), bearish funds, and safe havens. It sells euphoria, buys panic, and uses VIX and bond signals to decide when to risk on or hide out.
Out-of-sample edge: 61% return vs SPY 21.7%, Sharpe 1.65 vs 1.40, Calmar 2.50 vs 1.16. A fast, rules-based tech/semis + volatility strategy delivering superior risk-adjusted growth with adaptive hedges.
