About

A daily, tactical switcher between 3x bull or bear equity ETFs. It trend‑follows only when stocks are very “hot” and long Treasuries are strong; otherwise it buys recent laggards. Uses stock‑vs‑bond strength (IWM vs IEF) to choose bull or bear, then picks 2 ETFs.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads RSI, a 0–100 “heat” score of recent price moves. If SPY is very hot (>71) and long Treasuries (TMF) are also strong (>60), it trend‑follows. Otherwise it hunts short‑term rebounds. It decides risk‑on/off by whether small caps (IWM) look stronger than Treasuries (IEF). If stocks win, use bull funds; else bear funds. From that list (3x funds on small caps, banks, real estate, EM, gold miners), buy the 2 top (trend) or bottom (rebound) over ~4 days. Equal‑weight; rebalance daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~38.5% annualized return vs SPY ~21.4%, via a disciplined daily rotation among leveraged bull/bear ETFs. Potential for faster compounding with regime-driven momentum—but expect larger drawdowns in volatile 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.
