About

A daily, high‑risk switcher among 4× S&P 500, 3× tech, −3× QQQ, volatility (UVXY), or Treasuries. Uses a 200‑day trend filter and a short‑term “heat” gauge (RSI) to chase bounces or hedge when overheated. Expect big swings and decay risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if SPY is above its 200‑day average (uptrend) or below (downtrend). Uptrend: hold SPYU (4× S&P 500) unless short‑term “heat” (10‑day RSI, a 0–100 meter) on TQQQ/SPXL is very hot (>~80), then switch to UVXY (volatility). Downtrend: if TQQQ or SPY is very cold (RSI ~<30), bet on a bounce with TECL (3× tech) or SPYU. Otherwise, if TQQQ is under its 20‑day average, pick the stronger of SQQQ (−3× QQQ) or TLT (Treasuries); else use SQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~62% annualized return vs ~20% for the S&P, with Sharpe ~1.07 and Calmar ~1.27—strong upside with solid risk-adjusted metrics. Drawdowns can be steeper (~49%) in bear markets, but tactical hedges aim to outperform across cycles.

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.
