About

Rides short‑term momentum in Bitcoin plays, Big Tech and small caps, with a 20% volatility overlay. If markets look overheated it shifts to UVXY; if Bitcoin dumps outside an uptrend it shorts BTC. Very aggressive; uses leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
1) Checks if Bitcoin is in an uptrend (recent avg price above long‑term). If yes and the market isn’t overheated on a short‑term heat gauge (RSI), it buys a few of the fastest risers from Bitcoin plays, Big Tech (AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, GOOGL, META, NFLX, TSLA) and small caps. 2) Keeps ~20% in a VIX (market fear) overlay that flips between betting on rising fear (UVXY) or fading it (SVIX). 3) If things look too hot, it moves 100% to UVXY briefly. 4) If Bitcoin isn’t trending and just fell hard, it shorts Bitcoin (BITI, inverse MSTR). Very aggressive and leveraged.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~51% annualized return vs ~16% SPY; Sharpe ~0.93 vs 0.89; Calmar ~1.17. Higher drawdown (~43.6% vs ~18.8%), but dynamic volatility controls aim for far greater upside.

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.
