About

A 50/50 blend of two rule sets: ride uptrends with leveraged tech (TQQQ/SOXL), but when markets get “too hot” or fall fast, flip to crash hedges (UVXY/SQQQ) or cash/bonds. Uses trend, short‑term heat, and VIX. Very aggressive and active.
NutHow it works
It watches three things: the market’s trend, short‑term “heat” (an 0–100 gauge that flags too‑hot/too‑cold), and fear (the VIX). If indexes trend up and fear is low, it holds leveraged growth funds like TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) and SOXL (3x semis). If fear spikes or prices get too hot or drop fast, it jumps to volatility funds like UVXY/UVIX (VIX trackers), inverse funds like SQQQ (short Nasdaq), or T‑Bills/Treasuries. Bond signals help pick stocks vs bonds. It rechecks daily and can switch quickly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~59.65%/yr return vs SPY ~23.12%, Calmar ~1.42, max drawdown ~42% (vs ~18.8%). A regime-driven system that rides rallies with trend/heat/VIX hedges and cuts risk on spikes.

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.
