About

A rules-based “dashboard” that flips between leveraged tech, cash/bonds, gold, and volatility hedges. It tries to buy tech dips, fade overheated spikes, and sit in safety when fear rises. Very aggressive and can change positions quickly.
NutHow it works
It watches three dials: 1) Fear gauge (VIX): rising or easing. 2) Market “heat” (a too-hot/too-cold meter based on recent moves). 3) Bonds vs stocks leadership. When heat is high or fear jumps, it hedges (volatility funds like UVXY/UVIX) or goes inverse (e.g., SQQQ). When heat is low after a selloff and trend is OK, it buys fast-growth funds (e.g., TQQQ/SOXL/TECL). If shaky, it parks in T‑Bills, Treasuries (TLT/TMF) or gold (UGL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based strategy targets ~60% annualized returns with Calmar ~1.42 and Sharpe ~1.05, outperforming SPY’s ~23% annual return and smaller drawdowns (~19%). Note: higher potential drawdowns (~42%) due to aggressive rotation.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
