NAAIM 0 (Neutral (36th %ile)) · Style +2.5 (Offensive growth) · US GDP Δ4W +2.5 (Improving +0.9pp)
Method. Core equities % = round_2.5(60 + 15×4W weighted score), clamp [45,75]. Overlay = equal ±2.5% nudges from NAAIM (3Y %ile ≤20 → Contrarian Long / ≥80 → Contrarian Short), Style (Offensive growth +2.5 / Defensive −2.5; Cyclical value & Mixed = 0), and US GDP nowcast Δ4W (≥+0.2pp Improving / ≤−0.2pp Softening), then cap ±5%. Final = round_2.5(clamp(Core + Overlay, 45, 75)). Hard VIX veto → 45% and ignores Overlay. Regime chip uses Core only.

UUP/HYG vs 100DMA is display context only — does not vote. LQD/MOVE/10Y remain context.
* Volatility has no 200DMA. VIX level subscore: <15 → +1 (bullish), 15–20 → 0 (neutral), ≥20 → −1 (bearish). Combined with the 21d ROC subscore (≤−10% → +1, ≥+15% → −1) to form the Call.
