About

A daily switch. If the market’s fear gauge is running hot, take a 3× short on the S&P 500. Otherwise, hold the two calmest among Apple 1.5×, Microsoft 1.5×, NVIDIA, and AMD based on recent volatility.
NutHow it works
Each day: - Check VIXM, an ETF linked to market fear/volatility. If its 40‑day RSI (a speed/heat meter) > 69, buy SPXU, a fund targeting 3× the opposite of the S&P 500. - Otherwise, split equally between the two least‑volatile (past 10 days) among: AAPU (Apple 1.5×), MSFU (Microsoft 1.5×), NVDA, AMD. Rebalance daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 25.5% annualized return vs 24% for the S&P, with a volatility-based hedge during spikes and a calmer, leveraged tech core on calm days. Higher upside, but drawdowns can exceed 46% in downturns.

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.
