About

All‑in tactical rotation. When calm, buy the least “hot” market/tech fund; when jumpy, ride 3x Treasury trends (TMF/TMV). Uses RSI and recent drops to decide. Very aggressive; expect large swings.
NutHow it works
1) Check fear via UVXY. If its 20‑day RSI (a 0–100 “heat” gauge) is below 70, put 100% into the single ETF among SPY, QQQ, SHY, SOXL, TECL, TQQQ, UPRO with the lowest RSI. 2) If fear is high, pick TMF (3x long) or TMV (3x short) Treasuries based on the milder 5‑day worst drop; if both are calm, hold SPY.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~43.6% annualized returns vs SPY's ~22.7%; dynamic regime switching to Treasuries targets upside in stress markets. Higher volatility and drawdowns mean this is a high-risk, high-reward strategy.

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.
