About

Daily, rules-based rotation across leveraged stock ETFs, VIX 'fear' funds, Treasuries, and T-bills. Uses RSI and trend filters to press offense in calm markets and defend when fear or drawdowns rise.
NutHow it works
Rebalances daily. It switches among: - 3x stock funds (TQQQ/UPRO/TECL) tied to SPY/QQQ, - Fear funds (VIXY/UVXY/UVIX rise when fear jumps; SVIX rises when fear fades), - Treasuries (TMF=3x long, TMV=3x short, TLT), - Cash-like T-bills (BIL). Signals: RSI (0-100 'stretched' score) and trend (20/200-day avgs). Overheated stocks -> buy fear; washed-out -> buy 3x stocks. A bond module flips TMF<->TMV; a volatility module rides falling fear unless it spikes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers better downside protection with competitive returns: max drawdown ~9% vs SPY ~16%, Calmar ~2.0, annualized ~18.36% vs ~20.18%. Slightly lower Sharpe, but far stronger resilience than the S&P 500.

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.
