About

Daily, it rides long-term stock uptrends with a 3× S&P fund (UPRO), flips to volatility if things look overheated, and in downtrends either buys sharp dips for bounces or shifts to defensive/short funds (SPXU or TLT).
NutHow it works
First, it checks if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day average to decide risk‑on or risk‑off. It also uses RSI, a 0–100 “hot/cold” score from recent moves (high=overheated, low=washed‑out). • Above 200‑day: usually hold UPRO (3× S&P); if RSI shows overheating (on tech TQQQ or S&P SPXL), switch to UVXY (volatility). • Below 200‑day: buy oversold bounces (TQQQ or UPRO). If no bounce and UPRO is weak, pick SPXU (3× short S&P) or TLT (Treasuries) by which looks stronger.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets 53.6% annualized return vs 18.5% for SPY, with Sharpe ~1.06 and Calmar ~1.23. It uses 3× S&P exposure with dynamic risk-off/volatility shifts to improve risk-adjusted upside vs the S&P.

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.
