About

A fast, rules-based swing strategy that rotates daily among leveraged tech, VIX hedges, Treasuries, gold, or short tech using a simple hot/cold gauge (RSI), trend filters, and bond‑vs‑stock cues to ride rallies and protect in stress.
NutHow it works
Each day it switches among: 3x tech funds (TQQQ/TECL) to ride uptrends, VIX funds (UVXY/VIXY) as crash insurance (VIX = fear index), short tech (PSQ/SQQQ), or safe havens (Treasuries SHY, gold GLD/IAU). It uses: a hot/cold meter (RSI: 0–100; >80 = too hot, <30 = washed out), simple trend checks (price vs 20‑ & 200‑day averages), and bonds‑vs‑stocks strength. Too hot → hedge; washed out → buy the dip; unclear → Treasuries or gold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample this strategy targets ~50% annualized returns vs ~18% for the S&P, by riding leveraged tech uptrends and using hedges (VIX, Treasuries, gold) to cushion stress. Calmar ~0.82; expect higher volatility and potential drawdowns.

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.
