About

A daily, tech‑tilted switch that goes aggressive (TQQQ/SOXL/TECL/UPRO) in uptrends and defensive (PSQ/SQQQ/BIL/UVXY) when fear spikes or trends weaken, using a simple hot/cold meter and a VIXY 2‑day spike filter.
NutHow it works
Daily switches between offense and defense. It uses RSI (a 0–100 "hot/cold" meter) and simple trend lines. If the S&P looks extremely hot, it briefly hedges with a volatility fund (UVXY). If markets look washed‑out, it buys bounce plays (SOXL/TECL/UPRO). Otherwise: when the trend is up and bonds beat an inverse stock gauge, it buys TQQQ—unless the "fear gauge" (VIXY) jumped >10% in 2 days, then it picks PSQ. In weak/choppy times it moves to PSQ/SQQQ or cash‑like BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
An OOS-tested volatility-aware overlay to SPY. While OOS return ~7% and Sharpe ~0.41 (vs SPY ~18% and ~1.04), it adds diversification and risk control by adapting to spikes and uptrends, aiming to reduce tail risk as a core SPY complement.

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.
