About this strategy

Dynamic and defensive, the strategy mainly holds leveraged tech (TECL) when Nasdaq and VIX are not extreme, but shifts to a balanced mix of inverse tech (TECS) and VIX (UVXY) when volatility spikes or the S&P 500 shows overbought signals. It protects itself by moving into short-term Treasury (BIL) or long-term Treasury (TMF) when bond returns turn positive or when the 20-year Treasury falls below a low RSI, ensuring a risk-off stance during market stress.
