About

A crash alarm that parks in cash. When fear spikes it hedges (UVXY/SPXS). If tech is deeply oversold, it buys the two most beaten‑down broad/tech funds for a bounce. Otherwise it holds T‑bills (BIL) and TIPS (TIP).
NutHow it works
It mostly waits in cash-like Treasuries. It watches a “fear gauge” fund (UVXY). RSI is a 0–100 “heat meter” of recent moves; very high RSI on UVXY = panic. In panic it buys crash hedges (UVXY or a fund that rises when the S&P 500 falls, SPXS). If not panic but QQQ is very oversold (RSI<30), it buys the two most beaten‑down broad/tech funds (mix of normal and 3x) for a bounce. Else it stays in BIL/TIP. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
A risk ballast: crash hedges plus selective bounce bets. Out-of-sample drawdown ~0.5% and near-zero beta, offering far stronger downside protection than the S&P 500 during volatility with targeted upside in stressed tech.

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.
