About

Rules-based system that shifts between cash, fear hedges (UVXY/VIXY), a “short fear” trade (SVXY), and 3× tech/semis momentum (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). Guided by trend (200‑day) and a heat gauge (RSI). Also uses gold/BTAL/KMLM. High risk.
NutHow it works
This rules‑based system flips between offense and defense. It checks the S&P 500’s trend (price vs 200‑day average) and a heat gauge called RSI (0–100; high=too hot, low=washed‑out). Hot or suddenly weak markets: buy fear hedges (UVXY/VIXY) or park in T‑bills (BIL). Calm uptrends: bet fear will fade (SVXY) and rotate into fast 3× tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL). It sometimes diversifies with gold, an anti‑beta fund (BTAL), and managed‑futures (KMLM). High risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this regime-switching strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted gains vs the S&P: Sharpe ~2.05 (vs ~0.98), Calmar ~4.27, annualized return ~86.8% vs ~18.5%, with drawdowns around ~20%.

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.
