About this strategy

A cautious beta-hedge strategy mainly holds a balanced mix of neutral, bond, dividend and gold funds, switching to volatility plays when the Nasdaq shows extreme momentum. It moves into VIX-based ETFs when QQQ's RSI climbs above 80, and reverts to a defensive core of bonds, gold and dividend equity when the S&P 500 falls below its 200-day average or a 10-day drawdown exceeds 5%.
