About

Contrarian, high‑octane plan: if markets/sectors look overheated, go all‑in UVXY (long volatility). Otherwise, split across Nasdaq, Semis, and Tech with 3x ETFs—short after big surges, long otherwise. Extremely high risk.
NutHow it works
Step 1: Check a short‑term “overbought” score (RSI: a 0–100 gauge of recent ups vs downs) on SPY (S&P 500), QQQ (Nasdaq‑100), and sectors. If any are very high (≈79–81), move 100% to UVXY, a fund that usually spikes when stocks drop. Step 2: Else, split evenly across three trades—Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ/SQQQ), Semiconductors (SOXL/SOXS), Technology (TECL/TECS). If the index just surged (1d>2%, 5d>5%, ~1m>25–30%), use the 3x inverse; otherwise the 3x bull.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.25 vs S&P ~1.02; oos annualized return ~101% vs ~18%; Calmar ~1.64. Higher risk, but history shows outsized upside with volatility hedges and tactical tech/semis exposure—delivering stronger risk-adjusted returns than 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.
