About

A simple daily switcher: usually hold VT (global stocks). In hot uptrends it briefly flips to UVXY (volatility) if 3× stock funds look stretched; in weak trends it may shift to TLT (long Treasuries) if tech lags. Uses long‑term trend and short‑term “heat” rules.
NutHow it works
1) Check trend: Is SPY (US large stocks) above its 200‑day average price? Yes = uptrend. Uptrend: If TQQQ or SPXL (3× stock funds) show extreme short‑term “heat” >~80, hold UVXY (a fear/volatility fund that jumps when stocks wobble). Otherwise hold VT (total world stocks). Downtrend: If heat is very low (<~30), hold VT. Else if TQQQ is below its 20‑day average, hold TLT (long US Treasuries); else VT. “Heat” = a 0–100 recent‑moves score. “Average” = past‑N‑day mean. Leveraged funds act as thermometers.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample resilience: lower max drawdown (15.6% vs SPY 16.6%) and Calmar ~0.80, with ~12.46% annualized return. Provides steadier risk-adjusted gains and global diversification—better downside control than chasing SPY's ~20% raw return.

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.
