About

Daily switcher among three ETFs: buy TQQQ after sharp selloffs, buy UVXY after sharp run‑ups expecting a pullback and volatility spike, otherwise park in BIL (cash‑like T‑Bills).
NutHow it works
Each day it checks TQQQ’s RSI (a 0–100 score of how fast it has fallen/risen). If 9‑day RSI < 23 (very oversold), buy TQQQ (a 3× Nasdaq‑100 ETF) for a bounce. Otherwise, if 10‑day RSI > 81 (very hot), buy UVXY (a volatility ETF that jumps when markets wobble). If neither, hold BIL (T‑Bills). Rebalance daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Strong risk-adjusted edge: out-of-sample drawdown 5.70% vs SPY 6.33%, Calmar 7.22, and Sharpe ~1.03, with RSI-driven switches among TQQQ/UVXY/BIL for tactical upside and downside protection.

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.
