About this strategy

A dynamic pair-selection strategy keeps two assets at a time, choosing the pair that has performed best over the past 126 days and weighting them by inverse volatility so each contributes similar risk. When the relative performance of the gold, S&P 500, Treasury, or dollar shifts, it swaps to the new best pair, protecting against sudden downturns by moving into the safest combination.
