What do you think of using BCC measures to ease into/out of cash (ie, 1 Bear = going 1/3rd cash, 2 Bear = 2/3rds cash, etc.)?

If you want significantly more complex backtested tactical strategies I suggest you consider going to Allocate Smartly.
They have more than 40 alternative strategies most tested from 1970's or '80's. Chose a combination of strategies based on completely different principals such as momentum, risk parity, canary indicators, unemployment. Mix them together to get combined signals using their Optimizer:
From their site:
'This tool is designed to help members create the optimal mix of strategies for their Model Portfolios based on common portfolio optimization techniques, such as maximizing the Sharpe Ratio or minimizing volatility".

That's what I'm currently doing with a portion of my investments. Except when they say use QQQ or SPY I use my screens. After doing this myself for several years I decided it was significantly easier with less probability for mistakes to let Allocate Smartly do it for me.

I have no connection to Allocate Smartly other than as a subscriber.
