The Systems

Two Systems, One Philosophy

S&P 500
Macro Regime Engine
Multi-asset voting system polling 20+ global assets. Binary decision: fully invested or cash. Dodged the dot-com crash, GFC, COVID, and 2022 bear.

Bitcoin
The Eighth Rule
Volatility-regime overlay calibrated for Bitcoin's unique return distribution. Only long during confirmed bullish trends. Exits on full reversal, not chop.
