About this strategy

Cautious Fund Surfing holds a balanced mix of the dollar (UUP), gold (GLD) and consumer staples (XLP) when the S&P 500 shows high volatility, then switches to the leveraged S&P 500 (SSO) when volatility subsides and the index is oversold. The strategy protects itself by rebalancing to risk-on assets only when market swings are calm and de-risking to defensive holdings when volatility spikes.
