About

Daily, it flips between leveraged stock ETFs when markets are calm and BTAL/defensive picks when fear rises, using simple strength checks (RSI, moving averages). Equal‑weight, frequent rotation. Very aggressive; expect large swings and drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Each day it compares two “fear gauges”: VIXM (rises when fear rises) vs SVXY (rises when fear falls) using a recent‑strength check (RSI = balance of recent gains/losses). If fear is stronger, it goes defensive; otherwise it goes offensive. Offense: buy 2 strongest of UPRO/TQQQ/UDOW (3x S&P/Nasdaq/Dow) and GUSH (2x oil & gas). Defense: If BTAL (an anti‑beta hedge) is above its 300‑day average, hold ~50% BTAL and split the rest across the 3 strongest from a defensive/hedge basket (staples, healthcare, utilities, defense, energy longs/shorts). If BTAL isn’t trending, hold the 2 weakest over 8 days among SSO (2x S&P), QLD (2x Nasdaq), and BTAL. Equal‑weight; rebalance daily. Very aggressive.
CheckmarkValue prop
Volatility-aware, daily rotation between leveraged bulls and defensive hedges. Seeks better risk-adjusted timing in volatile markets and diversification vs SPY, with clear regime switching and risk controls.

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.
