About

Tactical plan that leans into 2×–3× stock ETFs in uptrends and moves to inverse/cash when markets weaken. It also times volatility: short vol in calm markets, long vol + cash + gold/silver when fear spikes. Picks the 2 strongest sleeves; rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
It rotates among stock index funds (Nasdaq, S&P 500, small caps), their 2×–3× versions, and inverse funds. Trend is set by the 200‑day average. RSI (0–100 “speedometer”) avoids weak (<40) or overheated (>75) spots. A separate sleeve watches the VIX (“fear index”): calm = short vol (SVXY); fear spike (3‑day swings > 15‑day) = long vol (UVXY) + T‑Bills (BIL) + gold/silver (GLD/SLV). If the last month is down or drawdown >5%, it shifts to hedges/cash. It keeps only the 2 strongest sub‑sleeves.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~59.4% vs SPY ~50.6%, with Calmar ~5.45. Leveraged trend/vol timing plus hedges target higher upside with disciplined risk controls; note drawdowns can be larger in stress markets.

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.
