About

A daily, all-in tactical strategy: buy the dip in bull markets, hide in gold/dollar during panics, or short stocks in downtrends. Decisions use simple trend lines and a 0–100 hot/cold score (RSI). Uses leveraged ETFs for offense/defense.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks trend and “hot/cold” readings to pick one ETF. - If the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200-day average (a long-term trend line), it buys the most “washed out” of TQQQ, SPXL, or SHY using a 20-day RSI (0–100 hot/cold score; below 30 = oversold). - If not, it either hides in a mix of gold (GLD) and the US dollar (UUP), buys a dip, or shorts stocks (SQQQ/SPXS) when the downtrend is strong (uses QQQ vs its 20-day average and short-term RSI). Tickers: TQQQ/SPXL=3x long, SQQQ/SPXS=3x short, SHY/BSV=bonds, UUP=dollar, GLD=gold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~55% annualized returns vs ~23% for the S&P, with solid risk-adjusted metrics (Calmar ~1.19). It captures substantially more upside while accepting larger drawdowns in stressed markets.

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.
