About

Daily, it flips among SPY/DIA, a volatility hedge (UVXY + defensive funds), cash‑like T‑Bills, or a mild short of tech, using simple hot/cold gauges (RSI), sector “canaries,” and a long‑term trend filter.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: are stocks red‑hot or ice‑cold? - Hot (RSI = a 0–100 hot/cold meter, very high): buy crash insurance—mostly UVXY (jumps when fear spikes) plus smoother safety (EUM, BTAL). - Cold (very low RSI): own SPY/DIA, sized toward the calmer one. - Otherwise follow trend: if SPY is in an uptrend, stay in SPY/DIA; if not, use T‑Bills (BIL) or a mild tech short (PSQ).
CheckmarkValue prop
Risk-first, rule-based strategy: OOS Sharpe 0.64, Calmar 0.69, max drawdown 17.1% vs SPY 18.8%, beta ~0.40. Hedged, trend-aware exposure aims for steadier performance and diversification for your S&P core.

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.
