About

Daily, it watches for short‑term “overheated” readings across SPY and major sectors. When hot, it shifts into a volatility‑defensive basket (mainly VIXY, plus EDV and BTAL). If not, it parks in T‑bills (BIL).
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if the market or key sectors look overheated over the last 10 days using RSI (a 0–100 “heat” gauge of how fast prices just rose; higher = hotter). If SPY is very hot: go 100% VIXY (tends to jump when market volatility spikes). If QQQ/VTV/VOX/XLP/XLF are hot: hold ~55% VIXY, 25% EDV (long Treasuries), 20% BTAL (long lower‑risk, short higher‑risk stocks). If nothing is hot: park in BIL (T‑bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Volatility-hedge sleeve: it shifts into VIX-based assets when markets heat up to reduce downside. In out-of-sample tests it shows smaller drawdowns than SPY and adds diversification, helping risk resilience even with modest returns.

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.
