About

Trend + risk switch. Above SPY’s 200‑day: if QQQ is overheated, use VIX hedges (VIXY/UVXY). Else, go 50/50: QQQ (with leverage scaled to volatility) and one oversold defensive pick. Below 200‑day: hold the most oversold bond/defensive sector. Daily rebalance; uses leveraged/VIX ETFs.
NutHow it works
First, check the market trend. If the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day average, go on offense; otherwise play defense. Defense: hold 1 “safe” asset (short/long bonds, corporates, staples, utilities, or healthcare) with the lowest 10‑day RSI (a short‑term hot/cold score). Offense: If the Nasdaq (QQQ) is very hot (10‑day RSI>80), switch into VIX funds (VIXY/UVXY), sized by how jumpy they are. Otherwise, split: half in QQQ with leverage scaled to recent choppiness (TQQQ/QLD/QQQ), and half in the most oversold safe pick. Rebalance daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy outperforms SPY on risk-adjusted metrics: annualized return ~30.8% vs ~1.7%, Sharpe ~1.36 vs ~0.19, Calmar ~5.39 vs ~0.38. Higher upside with trend/risk-off rules; hedges help manage drawdown.

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.
