Also, are there similar better systems like this?There are two parts to these schemes.
One is selecting the asset(s) to hold

They mention "HAA-Balanced" which is essentially Faber's QTAA but using TIPS as the in/out signal.
I am partial to Growth Trend Timing as a timing signal. But actually,
any timing signal that got you out in 2008 was good.
FWIW, Jim once mentioned a monthly rotate, SPY / PRF / IWF / QQQ (switch to the one that was best in the previous month).
