About this strategy

Dynamic risk-on strategy that mainly holds broad market and bond or dollar funds - SPY, TLT, UUP, GLD, SHV, DBC - while monitoring market strength. When the market is overbought or drawdowns rise, it switches to leveraged tech (TECL, SOXL) or volatility (UVXY) and protects itself by shifting into inverse-volatility weights of GLD, TLT, QQQ and UUP.
