Graft - Maybe using the DMA8 daily filter or the new Mach filter. I'm thinking though you can increase your odds of success if for example JNUG has high relative strength/momentum. For example, above the 200MA, or high CSTO or CRSI. Maybe even better yet using the 4 hour chart for any GDX, JNUG, NUGT, UGLD, GLD position. ChartingWealth in my opinion has shown it works for Gold.

Is it common for days in long position to start changing short? Example Vxx now shows 3 shorted days when yesterday there was 1.

The red bars from long position to short position toggle, in other words change quite frequently.

Not on the DMA8 for uptrend ETFs like XIV, UPRO, TQQQ. Downtrend ETFs like VXX, SPXU, SQQQ the answer is yes. A RSI(2) system may work better for these short time movers. Sell when RSI(2) price greater than 70 for example. This is why I do not like to trade low relative strength ETFs unless I can get in and out really quick like I did with VXX yesterday. By the way yesterday was a strange day in the market.

How does one select an etf for the hedge side of the system?

The author chose TLT and JNK. The answer is stocks/etfs that are not correlated to the 60% side. For the 36% 40% side using TMF and the 2X Inverse Emerging Markets ETF - EEV seems to backtest well. I 'm sure you could use GDX, NUGT/DUST, DGLD/UGLD also. The backtests do not come out well holding these for the whole month. These are probably better to trade using a 4-hour chart. I guess if you are an options trading your could buy puts also.
Currently I'm in a 60% position holding UPRO. On the 40% side I bought DFEN, XIV and ROBO which is not much of a hedge since I'm sure the correlations are high. I looked at the 3 Month Relative Strength of TMF and EEV and they are so both weak right now I did not want to buy a falling knife on the 40% side. Gold has been on an uptrend but the trend seemed to be weakening.
