How it works

Five checks at 3:50 PM. One rule for what happens next.

Every trading day, Kairos scores five public data points. Healthy: one slice of your portfolio holds growth. Fragile: it parks in T-bills, and comes back by the same written rule.

The idea

In 2022 your stocks dropped and your bonds dropped. Kairos replaces hope with a written exit plan, and a written plan for getting back in.

The five checks

What the system reads.

Credit spreads
What lenders charge riskier borrowers over safe ones: a read on how nervous credit markets are.
VIX term structure
How the market prices near-term protection against longer-term protection.
Market breadth
Whether most stocks are taking part, or a handful of giants are holding the index up.
Index momentum
Whether the Nasdaq’s trend is intact.
Tech vs. utilities
Whether money is leaving growth for safety.
The routine

Nothing happens until 3:50 PM ET.

All day: silence
No intraday alerts. No reacting to a 10 AM headline. The system ignores the noise so you don’t have to watch the screen.
3:50 PM ET: the checks are scored
Public data, one composite score. Healthy means stay in growth. Fragile means move to safety. Most days, the instruction is simply: do nothing.
Before the close: the order
Routed through TradersPost as a percentage instruction, executed by your broker, and confirmed on your own statement.
Two modes

Growth mode or safety mode. There is no “wait and see.”

Healthy: 83% of the slice in TQQQ, roughly 2.5× effective exposure to the Nasdaq.

Fragile: 100% of the slice in short-term U.S. Treasury bills, until the same five checks say conditions have cleared.

Leverage is only half the design. The exit rule is the other half. That’s why it’s built for one slice of a portfolio, never the whole thing.

Leveraged ETFs, honestly
Defense in layers

One signal decides. Three guards watch it.

Regime engine

The five-factor score itself: the everyday decision between growth mode and safety mode.

Stress lockout

A second gate for volatile markets. One calm day isn’t enough to re-enter; the pressure has to ease first.

Crash circuit breaker

A separate rule for fast, disorderly drops, the kind that move faster than a regime shift.

Profit sweep

Moves part of the gains into T-bills, so some of the upside is banked rather than left riding.

Each layer can still be late or wrong. Switching can create whipsaw, being wrong twice in a row, and none of these rules prevents losses or guarantees downside protection.

Plain answers

What Kairos is not.

Is it a prediction?
No. It measures conditions and follows a rule written in advance.
Is it day trading?
No. Expect about eleven trades a year, not a day.
Is it AI?
No. The checks are named, the data is public, and the rules don’t rewrite themselves.
Does it hold my money?
No. It trades inside your account; that’s all.
