About

Fast, tactical plan: if markets look overheated, jump into a volatility hedge; in uptrends or sharp selloffs, hold S&P 500 + Tech sized by risk; otherwise sit in T‑Bills. Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Daily, it checks a 0–100 “heat” score (RSI‑10). If SPY>80, or QQQ>85, or XLF>81 (overheated), it hedges: 70% UVXY (VIX/fear) + 30% EUM/BTAL (defensive), sized toward the calmer one. Else if SPY is very cold (RSI<30) or above its 150‑day average, it holds SPY+VGT the same way. Otherwise it parks in BIL (T‑Bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns and stronger upside with less downside than the S&P 500: Sharpe ~1.05 vs ~0.89, annual ~19.8% vs 16.5%, max drawdown ~14.5% vs 18.8%, Calmar ~1.37.

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.
