About this strategy

Dynamic and opportunistic, the strategy mainly holds leveraged S&P 500 (UPRO) when the market shows a bullish trend or is oversold, and it switches to risk-off assets such as short-term bonds (TIP), U.S. Treasury (IEI), or the dollar (UUP) when the trend weakens or the S&P 500 is overbought. It protects itself by moving into gold (GLD) or the commodity index (DBC) when volatility rises or the S&P 500's short-term momentum falters, ensuring a balanced shift between risk-on and risk-off positions.
