About

A rules-based safety switch: when major stock indexes/sectors look overheated over ~10 days, it buys volatility (VIXY) plus defensive assets (EDV, BTAL). Otherwise it stays in T‑bills (BIL). Useful in sudden pullbacks, but can suffer if rallies continue.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: did the S&P 500 (SPY) or big market slices (QQQ tech-heavy, VTV value, VOX communications, XLP staples, XLF financials) get unusually “hot” in the last ~10 days? “Hot” = a rapid recent rise (high RSI). If yes: move into a crash‑hedge mix—55% VIXY (benefits if fear jumps), 25% EDV (long Treasuries), 20% BTAL (defensive long/short). If SPY is extremely hot: 100% VIXY. If not hot: sit in BIL (T‑bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Rules-based risk-off hedge that activates when market heat appears. Out-of-sample tests show smaller drawdowns (≈3.3% vs SPY’s 5.1%), improving diversification and crisis protection. May underperform in strong rallies.

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.
