About this strategy

Aggressive yet cautious, the strategy holds leveraged Nasdaq (TQQQ) when the S&P 500 is oversold, switches to volatility (UVXY) when it is overbought, and otherwise rotates into the five least volatile sectors - such as energy (XLE), utilities (XLU), or gold (GLD) - to protect against market swings. It balances risk by shifting between risk-on and risk-off positions based on short-term momentum signals, keeping a defensive posture when volatility rises.
