About

A daily, tactical switcher. It buys aggressive tech when trends are healthy or after sharp dips, and shifts to T‑bills, long Treasuries, or hedges (inverse/volatility funds) when fear or downtrends appear. Uses RSI/trend to decide.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks fear (VIX), trend (S&P vs 200‑day; QQQ vs 25‑day), bonds vs stocks, and how stretched moves are (RSI=0–100 heat gauge; drawdown=peak‑to‑low fall). It then flips between: Risk‑On (TQQQ/tech), Dip‑Buy, Risk‑Off (T‑Bills/long Treasuries/BTAL), or Crash‑Protection (SQQQ/UVXY). Key tools: TQQQ=3× Nasdaq; SQQQ=−3× Nasdaq; TMF=3× long US Treasuries; UVXY/VIXY=‘fear’ funds; BIL=T‑Bills (cash‑like); BTAL=defensive.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: Sharpe ~1.70 vs ~1.31, Calmar ~2.85, and upside near 99% vs 22%, thanks to adaptive risk-on/risk-off rotation. Note: drawdowns can be larger in downturns.

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.
