About

A daily tactical strategy: when markets look overheated it shifts into VIX-linked funds (scaling from mild to aggressive); when washed out it buys 3x sector rebounds; otherwise it sits in defensive cash-like ETFs.
NutHow it works
Rebalanced daily. It uses RSI (0–100 speedometer: >80 overheated, <30 washed‑out) on the market and key sectors. • Overheated: buy VIX funds (UVXY/VIXY/VXX/VIXM) that rise when fear spikes, scaling up as heat grows. • Washed‑out: buy 3x bulls (SOXL/TECL/LABU); if too hot, use 3x bears (TECS/SOXS). • Otherwise use BTAL/SHV/BIL (defense) or TMF (long bonds).
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, regime-based strategy hedging with volatility exposure and selective leverage for diversification vs. the S&P 500. Out-of-sample: Sharpe ~0.36, ~7.7% annualized return—offers non-correlated risk management alongside SPY.

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.
