About

A fast, daily swing strategy. It gauges short-term strength of cash vs bonds, then either rides semiconductors up (SOXL), braces for pullbacks with VIX funds (UVXY/VIXY) when the S&P 500 looks too hot, or sits in T‑bills/bets against semis (SOXS). Uses leveraged, high-risk ETFs.
NutHow it works
Daily, it first compares recent “heat” (RSI) of BIL (T‑bill/cash ETF) vs BND (broad bonds). If BIL is hotter: check SPY (S&P 500). If SPY looks overly hot (7‑day RSI>76), put most (~80%) into a VIX fund (UVXY or VIXY), picking the calmer one; else go 3x long semiconductors via SOXL. If BIL isn’t hotter: buy whichever did better over the last 3 days—bearish 3x semis (SOXS) or BIL. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge with strong risk-adjusted upside vs S&P: Calmar ~1.21, Sharpe ~1.18, positive alpha (~0.17M), plus tactical hedges (volatility and semis) to capture rallies while limiting downside.

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.
