How it trades
How it trades
On a buy signal, it puts most of its available cash into Nvidia. When the price rises above its average cost, it sells the majority of the position and keeps a smaller stake. It repeats this at each subsequent high, gradually shifting the portfolio to cash, then re-enters when the next buy signal appears.
