About

Daily switches 100% between a 3x gold‑miner fund (GDXU) and a 4x S&P 500 fund (SPYU). It compares short‑term “recent ups vs downs” scores (RSI) of a bond fund (SBND) vs a high‑volatility stock fund (HIBL) to decide which one to hold.
NutHow it works
Each day it: - Checks two “signal” funds: SBND (a bond fund) and HIBL (a 3x fund tied to the most volatile S&P 500 stocks). - Calculates a short‑term “recent ups vs downs” score (RSI): higher = stronger recent rise. - If SBND’s score is lower than HIBL’s, it holds GDXU (a 3x gold‑miner fund); otherwise it holds SPYU (a 4x S&P 500 fund). 100% goes into the choice; reviewed daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~1,457% vs SPY ~109% (about 13x). Sharpe ~24.1, close to SPY’s, with daily rotation between 3x/4x leveraged assets. Captures momentum across regimes—larger upside, higher 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.
