About

A daily switch between 3× gold miners (GDXU) and 4× S&P 500 (SPYU) based on a simple momentum test: if a leveraged stock fund looks stronger than a bond fund (via RSI), hold gold miners; otherwise hold the S&P 500. Extremely high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a short‑term “strength score” called RSI (0–100; higher = stronger recent gains). It compares HIBL’s score (a 3× high‑beta U.S. stock fund) to SBND’s (a bond fund). If stocks > bonds, it buys GDXU (a 3× gold‑miners note). Otherwise it buys SPYU (a 4× S&P 500 note). It rebalances daily and lightly smooths risk with a 4‑day volatility check. These are very high‑risk, daily‑reset leveraged notes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Daily momentum switch between 3x gold miners and 4x S&P 500 aims for outsized out-of-sample gains versus the S&P 500. Strong risk-adjusted metrics, but extreme leverage can trigger sharp drawdowns—suitable for risk-tolerant investors seeking big upside.

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.
