About this strategy

Dynamic and defensive, the strategy mainly holds the high-dividend, low-volatility fund (SPHD) while it switches to leveraged tech (SPXL) or Nasdaq (TECL) when momentum is strong. It de-risks by moving into a short-sized tech (TECS) and a 2x VIX hedge (UVIX) after a sharp 6-month decline in the 3x QQQ, and it protects against large drawdowns by shifting back to SPHD when the 10-day QQQ drawdown exceeds 6% or the 20-year Treasury drawdown passes 7%.
