About

A contrarian, daily strategy: when a fast tech proxy (TQQQ) looks overheated, it buys a basket of VIX-linked funds; otherwise it sits in T‑Bills (BIL). Position sizes adapt to recent volatility to temper swings.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks how “hot” a fast tech-heavy fund (TQQQ) is using a 0–100 score (RSI) over 2, 5, 10, and 15 days. If those scores are very high, it shifts from T‑Bills (BIL) into a mix of VIX funds (UVXY, VXX, VIXM). The more timeframes that look hot, the bigger the VIX tilt. Inside that VIX mix, it gives smaller slices to the jumpier funds and keeps about 20% in a steadier VIX fund.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this contrarian volatility strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns to the S&P 500: dramatically lower drawdowns, very high Calmar, and adaptive VIX tilts that protect capital when tech momentum overheats.

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.
