About

If short‑term readings say markets are overheated, it moves into UVXY (a volatility spike play). Otherwise it alternates between leveraged long and inverse Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ/QLD vs PSQ/SQQQ) using 200‑day drawdown, trend, and return rules. High risk.
NutHow it works
Step 1 (overheated check): It looks at a 10‑day RSI—a 0–100 speedometer of recent gains—on big indexes/sectors (SPY, QQQ variants, tech, value, consumer, financials, communications). If any read ~80+, it buys UVXY, which jumps when fear rises. Step 2: If not overheated, it times the Nasdaq‑100 using 200‑day drop/trend and how far it’s run, flipping between leveraged long (TQQQ/QLD) and inverse (PSQ/SQQQ). High risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.93 vs SPY 0.98; Calmar 4.57; Alpha 0.97; annualized return 192% vs SPY 17%. A two-stage system chasing volatility spikes and Nasdaq timing offers superior growth and risk-adjusted performance—albeit with higher 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.
