About this strategy

A dynamic volatility-hedge strategy keeps equal weight in VIX mid-term (VIXM) and short-term (VIXY) when the S&P 500 (SPY) shows overbought conditions, and otherwise holds a mix of short-VIX (SVXY), VIXM, a market-neutral fund (BTAL) and a dividend ETF (SCHD). It switches to the VIX pair to protect against sharp market swings and reverts to the diversified mix when the market is not overbought.
