About this strategy

Dynamic and defensive, the strategy mainly holds leveraged tech (SOXL) when the S&P trend is up and the asset is oversold, then shifts to a VIX play (UVXY) if volatility spikes. When the market turns bearish it moves to a short-sized S&P (SPXS) or a high-dividend defensive fund (SPHD). It protects itself by allocating to cash-equivalent bonds (BIL) or the dollar (UUP) when risk signals rise.
