About this strategy

A dynamic, risk-on strategy that mainly holds the broad market (VTI) and the Nasdaq (QQQ) when the price is above its 200-day average or the 21-day trend is positive. When volatility spikes or the Nasdaq falls below its trend, it switches to a defensive mix of short-term Treasury (BIL), gold (IAU) and TIPS (TIP) or a consumer-staples play (XLP), protecting itself from sharp downturns.
