The expiration is at the top of the hour or the end of the day. The payout is a fixed percentage depending on the amount invested and whether the trade is a in the money or out of the money result.

Sector rotation is the practice of shifting investments through the course of a regular business cycle into sectors that are expected to perform the best in each phase of the business cycle. Within each phase of the business cycle there are different economic factors at work and some sectors will thrive while others will struggle.
