About

All‑in tactical strategy. If the market looks overheated (via a short‑term “heat” gauge), it buys UVXY to play a volatility spike. Otherwise it buys a 2x ETF on the mega‑cap tech name that lagged QQQ yesterday; if none lagged, it shorts tech with TECS.
NutHow it works
Step 1: A “hotness” check. It uses RSI (a short‑term heat meter of recent gains; very high = overheated). If major indexes/sectors look overheated, it buys UVXY, which jumps when market fear/volatility spikes. Step 2: If not overheated, it buys the mega‑cap tech that lagged QQQ yesterday, using 2x ETFs: MSFX (Microsoft), AAPX (Apple), GGLL (Google), or NVDX (NVIDIA). If none lagged, it uses TECS, a 3x short tech fund.
CheckmarkValue prop
High-octane, all-in timing: levered mega-cap tech bets with a volatility-spike hedge. Out-of-sample annualized return ~34% and Sharpe ~0.75 vs S&P, but with larger drawdowns. Higher upside, but greater risk in tech-driven markets.

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.
