About this strategy

This is a long strategy that switches asset allocations between stocks, gold, XIV, and other assets when deemed necessary. This strategy does not intend to take short positions and any significant use of margin is simply because of discrepancies between my actual brokerage account balance and the simulated balance.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
