About

Buys the most beaten‑down fund for a short‑term rebound. If tech is extremely oversold, it picks among 3× tech/semis; otherwise it picks among metals (gold, silver, copper, palladium, platinum, steel). Single‑ETF, daily, very high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day, check TQQQ’s 10‑day RSI—an indicator that scores recent price pressure from 0–100; below 30 means “very oversold.” If it’s <30, buy the worst 10‑day performer among 3× tech ETFs: TQQQ, TECL, SOXL. Otherwise buy the worst of metals: CPER (copper), GLD (gold), SLV (silver), PALL (palladium), PPLT (platinum), SLX (steel). Hold one fund; update daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.83 vs 1.49, Calmar 6.15, alpha +0.56, and annualized return ~201% vs ~32% for the S&P. A disciplined mean-reversion rotation into beaten tech/metals delivers superior risk-adjusted upside despite higher drawdowns.

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.
