About

A daily tactical system that waits for rare extremes: it scales into UVXY to bet on a volatility spike when the market looks overheated, takes quick mean‑reversion trades in tech/semis/biotech (3x ETFs) when oversold/overbought, or parks in T‑bills/BTAL when quiet.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if the market looks extremely “hot” using a simple speedometer (RSI, 0–100). When readings jump above very high bars on the S&P 500, Nasdaq, or key sectors, it flips into UVXY (a volatility fund) and scales up as more signals confirm. If no heat, it sits in T‑bills (BIL/SHV) or a defensive fund (BTAL). When a sector gets very washed out, it buys 3x bulls (SOXL/TECL/LABU); when too hot, it buys 3x bears (SOXS/TECS). Rarely it buys long bonds (TMF).
CheckmarkValue prop
Daily tactical strategy targets rare extremes (vol spikes via UVXY and 3x sector bets) with cash/defense otherwise. Out-of-sample: +6.51% annualized, Calmar ~0.235, positive risk-adjusted diversification vs S&P 500.

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.
