About

Daily, one‑ETF strategy centered on SPXL. In uptrends it rides SPXL, but if things look overheated it briefly hedges with UVXY. In downtrends it buys S&P dips or rotates to SQQQ (inverse Nasdaq) or TLT (bonds). Uses 3x ETFs; very high risk.
NutHow it works
Daily, it holds one fund. First test: is SPY above its 200‑day average (long‑term trend line)? If yes, hold SPXL (3x S&P 500) unless a 10‑day “heat” gauge (RSI) for TQQQ or SPXL is extremely hot; then flip to UVXY (volatility hedge). If not, buy big dips with SPXL/UPRO (3x S&P) when RSI is very low; otherwise pick SQQQ (3x inverse Nasdaq) or TLT (long Treasuries) by which is stronger. Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~44.6% vs SPY ~18%; Calmar ~1.04. Higher upside in uptrends, risk-adjusted near SPY, but larger drawdowns (~43%). Fits investors who can tolerate higher volatility for bigger gains.

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.
