About

A daily, high‑octane mean‑reversion strategy. It flips between 3× bull and bear funds in China and biotech after big moves, and only buys volatility (UVXY) when the market looks overheated; otherwise it parks in T‑Bills. Very tactical and risky.
NutHow it works
Daily, it runs two sleeves (China and Biotech). It watches FXI (big China) and XBI (biotech). After a big 5‑day move (>10% up or <−10%), it bets on snap‑backs: on a sharp daily dip it buys the 3× bull (YINN/LABU); otherwise the 3× bear (YANG/LABD). If there’s no big move, it buys UVXY (a jumpy VIX fund) only when RSI—a 0–100 “heat” score of recent gains—is very high on TQQQ or SPY; otherwise it holds BIL (T‑Bills). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this two-sleeve tactical strategy targets ~39.9% annualized return with ~9.3% max drawdown and Sharpe ~1.40 vs S&P ~1.17; Calmar ~4.29. Higher risk-adjusted upside and far lower drawdown than the S&P 500.

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.
