About

Rides rallies in Bitcoin, Big Tech, and small caps using short-term momentum, but flips into a volatility hedge when markets look overheated. If Bitcoin’s trend sours badly, it briefly shorts BTC; otherwise it stays with the fastest movers (often leveraged).
NutHow it works
Step 1: Is the market “too hot”? If several broad indexes/sectors show an unusually fast recent rise (very high short-term RSI), switch 100% into UVXY, a volatility hedge that can pop when markets wobble. Step 2: Otherwise, use Bitcoin’s trend. If BTC (via BITO) is trending up, buy the fastest movers from a list of crypto plays, Big Tech, and small‑cap/sector ETFs (equal weight). If BTC is weak and dropping fast, use BITI (inverse BTC).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy outperforms SPY on risk-adjusted terms: Sharpe ~1.25, Calmar ~2.0, and annualized return >110%. BTC/tech momentum with a volatility hedge delivers much more upside, though drawdowns can be larger.

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.
