About

Cash-plus core (75%) with a tactical 25% sleeve that bets on volatility spikes when markets look overheated and buys oversold 3x tech on sharp dips; otherwise sits in gold/commodities or cash. Uses RSI (a “hot/cold” meter) and rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
Core: 75% in cash-like ETFs (BIL, GSY, PULS) for steadiness. Active sleeve: 25% split into two 12.5% parts. 1) “Frontrunner”: when markets/sectors look overheated by RSI (a 0–100 “hot/cold” meter), it buys VIX ETFs (VXX, UVIX, VIXY, VIXM) that pop on fear; if tech is washed out, it buys oversold 3x tech/semis; sometimes rotates to gold/silver/commodities. 2) On deep QQQ dips it buys TQQQ; on extreme heat it buys UVXY; else it parks in cash-like ETFs. Rebalanced daily. VIX/3x funds are high-risk, short-term tools.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge with far lower drawdowns and strong risk-adjusted metrics versus the S&P. A 75% cash-like core plus 25% tactical sleeve hunts volatility spikes and oversold tech for selective upside, delivering steadier growth and better downside protection.

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.
