About

Daily rules use a short‑term “hot/cold” score to switch: 3x S&P or 3x Nasdaq after sharp drops, volatility (UVXY) after extreme Nasdaq surges, else a SPY/QQQ mix. High risk due to leverage and UVXY’s decay.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads a 10‑day “hot/cold” score (RSI, 0–100). Low = fell hard; high = ran fast. If S&P 500 is very cold (RSI<30): buy a 3x S&P fund (SPXL). Else if Nasdaq‑100 is very cold: buy a 3x Nasdaq fund (TQQQ). If Nasdaq is very hot (RSI>82): buy a volatility fund (UVXY). Otherwise: hold SPY (S&P 500) and QQQ (Nasdaq‑100). Note: leveraged/vol funds are high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~23% annualized vs SPY ~17.6%. A rules-based, short-term mean-reversion system using levered bets (SPXL/TQQQ) and volatility hedges (UVXY) targets higher upside with disciplined risk control.

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.
