About

A daily, rules-based plan: buy leveraged S&P or Nasdaq after sharp drops, switch to a volatility fund after extreme tech run-ups, otherwise hold SPY and QQQ 50/50. High risk due to leverage and UVXY; aims to catch rebounds and fade overheated moves.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks short-term “heat” readings on two big stock indexes. - If the S&P 500 is very beaten up, it buys a 3x S&P fund to play a rebound. - Else if the Nasdaq-100 is very beaten up, it buys a 3x Nasdaq fund. - Else if the Nasdaq-100 is extremely hot, it buys a volatility fund (UVXY). - Otherwise it splits 50/50 between SPY and QQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~22.5% annualized vs SPY's ~17.4%, driven by levered dip rebounds and volatility bets. Higher upside but larger drawdowns (~30%). Risk-adjusted Sharpe lower in OOS. Best for experienced, risk-tolerant growth-seekers.

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.
