About

A daily rulebook that fades extremes: switch into VIX‑linked funds when markets look too hot, and into 3× tech/semis when they look washed out. Otherwise sit in T‑bills. Includes a tiny, buffered bitcoin sleeve. Very high risk and frequent trading.
NutHow it works
Uses a 10–14 day “heat meter” (RSI): high = ran too hot; low = washed‑out. When SPY/QQQ (broad US indexes) look hot, it buys VIX‑linked volatility funds (UVXY/VXX/VIXY/UVIX) that usually jump if stocks wobble. When tech/semis look cold, it buys 3× bull funds (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/LABU) for a bounce. No clear signal => T‑Bills (BIL/SHV). A small sleeve toggles Bitcoin (BITX/IBIT/SBIT). Extra “crash” rules try to catch panics. Very risky; trades often.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted grounds: Sharpe 3.40 vs 2.24, Calmar 7.69, max drawdown 1.47% vs 5.07%, beta ~0.21. About 11.3% annualized OOS return with far lower downside risk—dynamic risk-off/risk-on logic.

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.
