About

Daily mean‑reversion in China and U.S. biotech using 3x bull/bear ETFs. If no recent extreme, it buys a leveraged volatility fund (UVXY) when markets look overheated, otherwise holds T‑bills (BIL). Very volatile and high risk.
NutHow it works
The portfolio runs two sleeves: China stocks and U.S. biotech. Each day, if either area moved ~±10% over 5 days, it bets on a short‑term snap‑back: after a down day it buys the 3x bull fund (YINN or LABU); after an up day it buys the 3x bear (YANG or LABD). If there’s no recent extreme, it either buys UVXY—a leveraged “fear/volatility” fund—when a 0–100 heat meter (RSI) shows the U.S. market is overheated, or it parks in T‑bills (BIL). Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperforms the S&P on risk-adjusted terms: OOS return ~32% vs ~20%, max drawdown ~9% vs ~19%, Sharpe ~1.19 vs ~1.17, beta ~0.5. Diversified China biotech sleeves with volatility hedges aim for bigger gains and lower risk.

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.
