About

A daily, rules-based rotation. If markets look overheated, it flips to a volatility spike fund (UVXY). Otherwise, it picks one trend‑qualified candidate (SPXL/TECL/TQQQ/UGL/TMF/EEM/cash) and buys the one that’s least “hot” by RSI.
NutHow it works
First, it checks a “heat gauge” (RSI) on many market/sector funds. If any look extremely hot, it shifts to UVXY, which tends to jump when stocks fall. Otherwise, it tests short‑ vs medium‑term trend (12/26‑day EMAs) and a 50‑day filter across SPY, TLT, GLD, EEM, VXX to form candidates (e.g., SPXL, TECL, TQQQ, UGL, TMF, BIL/SGOV). It buys the one that’s least hot (lowest RSI). Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher upside: ~48.2% annualized vs SPY ~29.4%, with Calmar near 2.0. Daily rotations + volatility hedges pursue strong risk-adjusted gains—but 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.
