About

Daily tactical strategy that rotates among leveraged stock ETFs, volatility (UVXY), T‑bills, or shorting tech. It buys volatility when markets look overheated, buys 3× bulls when very weak, and otherwise follows a 200‑day trend to choose risk‑on or risk‑off. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks short‑term momentum (RSI) on broad funds: SPY (S&P 500), IOO (global megacaps), TQQQ (Nasdaq‑100), VTV (value), XLF (financials), VOX (communications). - If any look very overbought, buy UVXY (volatility) + some BTAL (defensive). - If very oversold, buy 3× bull funds (TQQQ or UPRO). - Else use trend: if SPY > 200‑day and volatility is easing (VIXY down), own SPXL/TECL/TQQQ; if not, hold BIL. If trend is down, mostly short QQQ (SQQQ/PSQ), with occasional flips long on strong signals.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ~1.07 vs SPY ~0.95) and far higher annualized gains (~56% vs ~17%), with Calmar ~1.42, though drawdowns can be larger in downturns.

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.
