About this strategy

A relaxed trader algo mainly holds the leveraged S&P 500 (SPY) when the index is above its 66-day moving average but still below its 3-year cumulative return, indicating a moderate uptrend. When the 3-year return is exceeded or the 19-year return falls below 11%, it shifts to short-term bonds (BSV) or Treasury bonds (SHY) to protect against a potential pullback, keeping the portfolio risk-off during market stress.
