About

An aggressive, daily system that fades overheated rallies with volatility ETFs and buys sharp dips in high‑beta tech/semis. Bond signals decide when to switch to cash, Treasury trades, or inverse equity ETFs to weather market stress.
NutHow it works
It trades short‑term extremes, rebalanced daily. “Heat gauge” (RSI): when SPY/QQQ run too hot (>~75), it buys volatility funds (UVXY/VIXY) to bet on a pullback. When they get washed‑out (<~30) or after sudden drops, it buys high‑octane rebound ETFs (TQQQ=3x QQQ, SOXL=3x semis, TECL/UPRO=3x tech/S&P). A bond “weathervane” (BIL vs IEF/TLT) flips it to defense: cash (BIL), bond trades (TMF/TMV), or bear ETFs (SQQQ/SOXS/SPXS).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~18.9 vs SPY ~1.7; max drawdown ~1.1% vs ~5%; Calmar ~358. Daily, tactical volatility hedges and bond signals aim for superior risk-adjusted returns and capital protection versus the S&P 500.

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.
