About

All-in tactical rules: ride uptrends with 3× S&P 500 (UPRO), sit in T‑bills (BIL) when conditions worsen, buy volatility (UVXY) in extremes, and buy sharp dips (TECL/UPRO) in bears to seek rebounds while avoiding big slides.
NutHow it works
1) If the market is whipping around or looks too hot, it buys UVXY, a fund that jumps when fear/volatility spikes. 2) Otherwise it checks trend: SPY above its 200‑day average = bull; below = bear. 3) Bull: if bonds look steadier than betting against stocks, hold UPRO (3× S&P 500); else hold BIL (T‑bills). 4) Bear: only buy deep dips (TECL 3× tech or UPRO); otherwise BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~36% annualized return vs ~15% for SPY, using leveraged bets in up markets plus cash/vol hedges in downturns. Higher upside and bigger drawdowns, but disciplined risk controls seek to preserve capital while chasing gains.

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.
