About

Daily rules blend trend and mean‑reversion. If stocks look overheated by RSI, shift to UVXY (volatility). Otherwise, test trends in stocks/tech/treasuries/gold/emerging/volatility, then hold the most short‑term oversold candidate; cash is a fallback.
NutHow it works
Each day it first asks: are key stock funds “too hot” by RSI (a 0–100 speedometer of recent gains; >~80 = overheated)? If yes, it buys UVXY, which jumps when market volatility spikes. If not, five modules test trends (12 vs 26‑day EMAs plus 50/200‑day filters) across stocks/tech/treasuries/gold/emerging/vol. Each nominates one fund (or cash). It then holds the single nominee that’s most short‑term “oversold” (lowest RSI). Cash (BIL) is used when checks fail.
CheckmarkValue prop
Daily, rules-based blend of trend-following and short-term mean-reversion with a UVXY hedge when markets heat up. Out-of-sample: ~55% annualized return vs ~30% for the S&P 500, Calmar ~2.27, Sharpe ~1.01; higher upside, with larger 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.
