About

A rules-driven gold strategy that flips between leveraged long/short gold and miners based on rapid-move signals, and otherwise mixes in the U.S. dollar and Bitcoin. Very high risk due to 2x funds, miners, and crypto; shifts only when signals change.
NutHow it works
RSI estimates how fast price moved lately (high=overheated, low=washed‑out). - If gold’s RSI >77 → short gold/miners: GLL & JDST (−2x). - If RSI <33 → long gold/miners: UGL & NUGT (+2x). - Else if GLD up >6.5% in 7 days → short: GLL & JDST. - Else: if US dollar (UUP) RSI >36 → hold GLD, UUP & GBTC; else → JDST & GBTC. Shifts only when signals change. Tickers: GLD=gold; UGL=+2x gold; GLL=−2x gold; NUGT=+2x miners; JDST=−2x jr miners; UUP=US dollar; GBTC=Bitcoin.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~34.9% annualized return vs SPY ~20.2%, with low beta (~0.22) and Calmar ~1.65, delivering strong risk-adjusted upside. Accept ~21% max drawdown for diversification into gold, USD, and Bitcoin.

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.
