About

A daily tactical switch for U.S. financials: uses a 10‑day RSI of XLF to buy FAS (3x long) when oversold, FAZ (3x short) when overbought, and XLF otherwise.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a 10‑day RSI—a 0–100 gauge of how fast price has moved recently—on XLF (big U.S. financial stocks). Low RSI (<25)=oversold: buy FAS (aims for 3x the sector up). High RSI (>88)=overbought: buy FAZ (3x short). Otherwise hold XLF. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperforms the S&P: out-of-sample annualized return ~33% vs 18%, Sharpe ~1.24 vs ~1.03, and max drawdown ~14% vs ~19%. A disciplined RSI-driven sector-timing strategy delivering higher upside with controlled risk.

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.
