About

A fast, daily strategy that uses a simple “speed” gauge on a volatility fund to decide risk‑on vs risk‑off. It either holds one leveraged stock ETF with the strongest momentum or switches to a defensive hedge (bonds, staples, gold, anti‑beta, or short junk bonds). High risk.
NutHow it works
Daily, it flips between risk‑on and risk‑off using two cues: - UVXY (a volatility ETF) with RSI (a simple “speed” gauge: higher = prices rising faster). If volatility speeds up, hold the defensive that held up best: UGL=2x gold, VDC=staples, VBF=bonds, BTAL=anti‑beta. - If volatility isn’t rising and consumer (UCC=2x) is improving, buy the strongest levered bull: ERX(2x energy), SPXL(3x S&P), TQQQ(3x Nasdaq‑100), CURE(3x health), UDOW(3x Dow), UTSL(3x utilities), WANT(3x consumer). Otherwise hedge with BTAL or SJB=short junk bonds. Rebalances daily; usually one holding. High risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, volatility-aware regime-switching strategy that rides momentum in rallies and hedges in spikes. OOS: ~15% annualized return, beta ~1, Calmar ~0.45. A valuable S&P diversifier that can complement core exposure, albeit with higher stress-period drawdowns.

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.
