About

Daily tactical system: if stocks look overheated, rotate into UVXY (a volatility/fear play). Otherwise, build trend‑approved picks across stocks, tech, gold, EM, and bonds/vol, then buy the one that just dipped the most (lowest RSI). Uses leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
Daily: 1) Overheat check: If a panel of stock funds is “too hot” (RSI ~80+), switch to UVXY, which jumps when fear spikes. 2) Else form 5 picks (S&P 500, tech, gold, EM, bonds/vol) that pass a trend test (short vs long avg). Buy the one that dipped most (lowest 8‑day RSI). Key: SPXL=3x S&P; TECL=3x tech; UGL=2x gold; TMF=3x 20Y Treas; UVXY/VXX=vol; EEM=EM; BIL=T‑Bills.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results show ~51% annualized return vs SPY ~29%, with Calmar ~2.12 indicating solid risk-adjusted upside. The strategy uses volatility hedging and dynamic multi-asset sleeves; expect higher drawdowns (~24%).

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.
