About

A fast‑switching playbook: hedge with VIX when the market looks overheated, buy 3x tech/semis after sharp dips, and otherwise sit in steadier options like KMLM (managed futures), long/short, dollar, or Treasuries. It auto‑selects the steadiest variant.
NutHow it works
It watches a short‑term “heat meter” (how fast prices have risen or fallen). - If markets look too hot, it buys VIX funds (UVXY/VIXY) as an air‑bag. - If they’re very cold after a quick drop, it buys beaten‑up 3x tech/semis (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/SPXL). - Otherwise it shifts to steadier picks like KMLM (managed futures), FTLS (long/short), UUP (US dollar) or Treasuries. It also picks the sub‑playbook that has been the steadiest lately.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based strategy hedging volatility, buying dips in 3x tech, and rotating to steady futures/bonds. OOS Calmar ~1.21 with solid 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.
