About

A daily, rules‑based, risk‑on/risk‑off strategy. It rides uptrends with a leveraged sector mix, hedges when markets look overheated with UVXY, buys sharp dips, and in downtrends mostly shorts the Nasdaq—keeping ~40% in cash.
NutHow it works
1) First, it asks: is the S&P 500 above its 200‑day average? If yes = Bull; if no = Bear. 2) Bull: If markets look very “hot” (RSI ~ >80 on key indexes/sectors), it shifts to a crash cushion (mostly UVXY, sometimes 75% UVXY + 25% BTAL). If very “cold” (RSI < ~30), it buys TQQQ or UPRO for a bounce. Otherwise, it holds a mix of leveraged tech/semis/healthcare/biotech/financials (and sometimes long Treasuries), sized by recent volatility; if stress hits, it may use managed futures or short Treasuries. 3) Bear: Mostly holds short‑Nasdaq (SQQQ/PSQ), but will briefly flip long if short‑term strength appears (e.g., TQQQ regains momentum or bonds look strong). Rebalanced daily; roughly 40% cash is left aside.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~40% vs S&P ~18%, powered by a rules-based risk-on/risk-off system with volatility hedges and Nasdaq shorts in pullbacks. Calmar ~1; strong risk-adjusted upside despite 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.
