Daily, rule-based contrarian multi-asset strategy focusing on gold/oil themes, using short-term momentum and RSI-style checks to pick a single ETF per theme, with multiple risk checks and levered/volatility exposure.

New Symphony operates on a daily rebalance and starts by dividing cash into major theme blocks (the primary block shown is Gold Frontrunners or Oil). Within that block, it evaluates a set of candidate ETFs (for example, gold, gold 2x, oil proxies, etc.) and ranks them using a short-term performance metric (a measure similar to cumulative return over a small window). It then selects the bottom-ranked asset in those candidates (i.e., the one that has performed least well recently) as the asset to tilt toward, subject to a series of guardrails. The guardrails include momentum and RSI-like checks, moving-average comparisons, and risk signals drawn from related assets (e.g., treasury bonds, volatility ETFs, or other commodities) to avoid buying into a dangerous regime. If the primary checks fail, the strategy navigates through alternate branches (e.g., an “Oil Buy Signal” path or a “Flash Crash Check” group) that apply additional filters and may redirect to other assets within the same broad theme or an alternative theme. The assets listed include common tickers for gold (GLD, UGL, GLL, PALL), oil (UCO, BNO, DBO, SCO, UCO-related proxies), volatility (SVXY, UVXY, VIXM), and levered equity proxies (TQQQ, UPRO). The overall aim is to own a single asset per theme when signals align, rather than a basket, with the intent of capturing short-term moves while attempting to avoid adverse spikes through risk checks. Note: the system uses short windows and levered products; these amplify gains and losses and require careful risk tolerance and cost considerations. Ticker examples explained below help ground what the symbols represent in plain terms: GLD tracks gold, UGL is 2x gold, TQQQ is 3x the NASDAQ-100 index, UPRO is 3x the S&P 500, SVXY is designed to move opposite VIX expectations, UVXY is a 2x proxy for volatility, and UCO/BNO/DBO are oil-focused funds. In practice, if a branch selects a ticker, that ETF is what gets the daily weight in the portfolio (with the top-level 10% or 100% weight scheme embedded in the nested structure).

Contrarian, short-term gold/oil theme trading with guardrails and daily rebalancing. Aims to diversify and hedge a S&P‑heavy portfolio via volatility/commodity proxies. Caution: out-of-sample results have been negative and higher risk.
