About

A fast, rules‑based “pop” strategy: fade euphoria with volatility ETFs, buy sharp tech dips, or sit in diversifiers (KMLM, dollar, bonds/commodities). Uses an RSI hot/cold gauge and long‑term trends to switch between risk‑on and risk‑off.
NutHow it works
Watches a “heat meter” (RSI: 0–100; high=overheated, low=washed‑out) on major indexes/sectors. If very hot, it briefly buys volatility ETFs (UVXY/VIXY) that jump when fear rises. If very cold, it buys quick‑bounce tech/broad funds (TECL/TQQQ/SOXL/SPXL). Otherwise it rotates into KMLM (managed‑futures), UUP (dollar), FTLS (long/short), Treasuries, or gold/commodities, using 200‑day trends to pick bull vs bear baskets.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, regime-aware strategy that blends volatility hedges, tech rebound plays, and diversified sleeves to capture upside while reducing correlation to SPY. Out-of-sample: ~21.6% annualized returns with ~0.62 Sharpe; note higher crisis drawdowns vs SPY.

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.
