About

Daily, hyper-tactical swing system. Flips to long volatility when the market looks too hot and to leveraged tech when it looks beaten down; otherwise sits in cash-like T-bills. Includes crash-catcher and small bitcoin/commodity sleeves. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Uses a simple heat meter (RSI, 0=cold, 100=hot) on big indexes. When markets look overheated (RSI high), it buys fear funds tied to volatility (UVXY/VXX/VIXY) expecting a pullback. When they look washed-out (RSI low), it buys 3x tech/sector funds (TQQQ, SPXL, SOXL, TECL, LABU) for a bounce (~3x daily moves). Otherwise it parks in T-bills (BIL/SHV). Small sleeves add/hedge with bitcoin (BITX/IBIT/SBIT), gold/treasuries, or short-vol (SVXY). Rebalanced daily; extremely high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 3.40 vs 2.24, Calmar 7.69, drawdown 1.47% vs 5.07%, beta ~0.21. Superior risk-adjusted returns with far stronger downside protection than the 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.
