About

A daily, risk‑on/risk‑off system: hunt short rebounds in S&P/Nasdaq/Semis with 3x ETFs when they’re washed out, sit in T‑Bills or short bonds when not, and switch to a volatility‑spike hedge (UVXY) and safe havens during market panics.
NutHow it works
Daily it flips between crash‑mode and normal‑mode. Crash‑mode turns on when UVXY (a fund that jumps in panics) shows strong momentum: it may buy UVXY or park in short bonds/US dollar. Normal‑mode uses a trend filter (50 vs 200‑day). In uptrends, three “Pop Bots” buy 3x S&P/Nasdaq/Semis only on sharp dips (RSI = a price‑speed/heat gauge; low = washed out), else sit in T‑Bills. In downtrends, it may short the S&P (3x) or hold low‑vol dividend stocks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic two-mode strategy: crash hedges via UVXY and safe havens, then opportunistic 3x rebounds. Lower beta and positive out-of-sample alpha provide diversification and downside protection beyond 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.
