About

A daily, contrarian swing strategy: buy 3x S&P 500/Nasdaq/semiconductor funds after sharp dips, sit in T‑Bills otherwise, and flip to UVXY when markets look overheated—aiming for quick pops but with very high risk.
NutHow it works
Your money is split equally into 3 sleeves: S&P 500 (SPXL), Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ), and Semiconductors (SOXL). Each day it scores the last 10 days on a 0–100 “heat” scale (RSI): >80 = very hot, <30 = very cold. - If SPXL/TQQQ are very hot, that sleeve buys UVXY (often jumps when stocks drop). - If very cold, it buys the 3x bull fund (SPXL/TQQQ or SOXL). - Otherwise it sits in BIL (T‑Bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~23.3% annualized return vs SPY’s ~21.3%, with lower beta (~0.85) for diversification and Calmar ~0.96. Potential higher upside from dips/vol spikes, but higher drawdowns and a softer oos Sharpe than the S&P.

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.
