About

A fast, ARK‑focused swing strategy that flips between 2x long ARK (TARK) and short ARK (SARK) using bond trends and heat checks, with occasional 1‑day bounce trades in volatility, dollar, Treasuries, or gold.
NutHow it works
Core idea: trade Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation (ARKK). It reads bond ETFs (BIL/IEI/IEF/TLH) to set risk-on/off. If risk-on, buy 2x ARKK (TARK); if risk-off, buy the ARKK inverse (SARK). It uses a “hot/cold” gauge (RSI = recent ups vs downs) and short-term momentum/volatility to avoid chasing. When moves look stretched, it runs 1‑day bounce trades in volatility (VIXY/UVXY), high‑beta (SPHB), dollar (UUP/USDU), Treasuries (TMV/UBT/PSQ), or gold (UGL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~40.8% annualized return vs ~21.5% S&P, with added alpha. Tactical ARK swings aim for big upside, aided by hedges. Warning: higher drawdowns (~63% vs ~19%) and volatility; suited for bold, high-conviction investors.

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.
