About

Uses a 1‑year trend in emerging markets (VWO) to flip Risk On/Off. Risk On: leveraged tech (TQQQ) unless overheated, then UVXY. Risk Off: bonds plus stocks, or a cautious blend with volatility if fear is high; swaps to UVXY at stock extremes.
NutHow it works
1) Check a 1‑year trend on VWO (emerging markets). If the faster average price is above the slower one, it’s Risk On; otherwise, Risk Off. Risk On: Hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq). If QQQ looks extremely “hot” (RSI>80), switch to UVXY (long volatility). Risk Off: If volatility is already high (VIXY RSI>70), mix UPRO, TMF, VIXM by inverse volatility. Else hold 50% TMF and 50% UPRO—unless SPY is extremely hot (RSI>80), then use UVXY instead of UPRO.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets far higher growth than the S&P: about 83% annualized vs 25%; with a Sharpe ~1.31 and Calmar ~1.44. It uses EM trend signals plus tactical hedges to capture upside while managing risk—though drawdowns can be large.

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.
