About

Monthly, it reads a simple market heat gauge (RSI on the S&P 500) to switch between: a volatility hedge (VIXM) when too hot, small high‑octane bets when too cold, or a concentrated basket of strong big‑name stocks in normal times, with some cash.
NutHow it works
Each month it checks a “heat gauge” (RSI) on SPY, an S&P 500 fund. RSI runs 0–100: above ~77 = very hot; below ~30 = very cold. - Very hot: move 100% into VIXM, a fund that can jump when market volatility spikes. - Very cold: put ~10% into the two strongest 3x bull funds (TECL tech, TNA small caps, SPXL S&P 500); keep the rest in cash. - Otherwise: put ~90% in 3 large U.S. stocks with the strongest recent momentum (from a preset list); keep ~10% cash. Rebalance monthly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ~1.36 vs 1.33) with higher upside (43% vs 21%), lower beta (~0.82) and positive alpha. Drawdowns are larger, but Calmar ~1.94 signals solid 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.
