About

Trades only at extremes: jump to UVXY when markets look overheated; buy 3x equity funds (TQQQ/SOXL/SPXL) when they look washed out; otherwise sit in T‑bills. Single-position, high-volatility, high-drawdown approach.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads a 0–100 “heat score” (RSI over the last 10 days). If the score for TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) or SPXL (3x S&P 500) is very hot (>80), it flips into UVXY, a fund that usually jumps when stocks drop. If the score is very cold (<30), it buys the dip in this order: TQQQ, then SOXL (3x semis), then SPXL. If nothing is extreme, it holds BIL (T‑bills). Only one fund is held at a time; it can switch daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 32.95% annualized return vs 21.61% for the S&P, Calmar ~1.45 and Sharpe ~1.13. A disciplined, single-position contrarian strategy using extreme RSI signals and 3x leveraged plays offers higher growth with risk controls.

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.
