About

A daily “correction catcher” that mostly sits in T‑bills, but jumps into UVXY when markets look overheated and volatility stirs, and sometimes shorts long‑term Treasuries (TMV). Aims to profit from quick stock dips; very high risk if signals whipsaw.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: (1) Has the stock market been strong lately? (2) Is “fear” (VIX) waking up vs stocks? (3) Are big indexes/sectors getting too hot? If yes, it buys UVXY (a turbo fear fund) to catch pullbacks, and sometimes shorts long bonds (TMV). If not, it parks in T‑bills (BIL/SHV).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers higher upside than the S&P 500: about 23.16% annualized vs 19.12%, with positive alpha (~0.36%), negative beta (~-0.36) for diversification, and Calmar ~0.74, delivering better risk-adjusted gains despite larger drawdowns.

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.
