About

A daily, one‑position strategy that flips between leveraged tech/semis/biotech, their inverse, bond bull/bear, and UVXY. It uses RSI extremes, bond trends, and market stress to pick candidates, then chooses the one with the highest 20‑day volatility.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks market “heat” and trend: - RSI: a 0–100 hot/cold gauge (>75 too hot, <30 washed out). - Bonds vs cash (e.g., TLT/IEF vs BIL) and commodity stress. If stocks are too hot, it buys volatility (UVXY). If washed out (and bonds agree), it buys high‑beta bulls like 3x tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL); otherwise it shorts (SQQQ, SOXS). In weak/high‑stress regimes it may use TMF/TMV (long/short Treasuries), oil/energy, dollar, or Brazil. Finally, it picks the single ETF with the biggest 20‑day swings.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this regime-driven rotation targets big moves across tech/biotech, bonds and volatility, delivering ~43.7% annualized return vs SPY’s ~21.2%. It blends high upside with risk controls, but can incur large drawdowns (~60%).

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.
