About

Aggressive momentum strategy: rides Bitcoin/Big Tech/small-cap winners (often via leveraged funds) when trends are up; flips to a volatility hedge (UVXY) when markets look overheated, and may short Bitcoin in downtrends. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Goal: ride rallies in Bitcoin, Big Tech and small caps, and step aside when things look too hot. RSI = a 0–100 speedometer of recent gains; >75–80 = overheated. Moving averages (50 vs 200 days) flag uptrends. If many indexes look overheated, it moves to UVXY (a volatility fund). Else: if Bitcoin trends up, ~80% goes to recent winners (crypto plays/FAANG/small caps) and ~20% trades volatility (UVXY or SVIX). If Bitcoin trends down, it may short Bitcoin.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~59% annualized return vs ~15.8% for SPY; Sharpe ~1.01 vs ~0.88; Calmar ~1.34. Higher upside with built-in volatility hedges and overheating safeguards—delivering bigger potential gains while keeping risk under control.

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.
