About

One‑position, rules‑based swing strategy: hedge with VIX when markets look overheated, buy 3x bulls on deep dips, otherwise use a 200‑day trend and a bonds‑vs‑stress check to choose between long/short tech or Treasuries.
NutHow it works
All‑in to one ETF using RSI (0–100 “hot/cold” gauge) and a 200‑day trend. 1) If market/sectors are very hot (10‑day RSI > ~80): buy VIX ETFs (UVXY/VIXY). 2) If very cold (RSI < 30): buy 3x bulls (SOXL, TECL, or UPRO). 3) Otherwise: if SPY is above trend, choose TQQQ unless a bonds‑vs‑short stress check flips to PSQ; if below, pick the stronger of SQQQ or TLT. VIX=“fear”; PSQ/SQQQ=short QQQ; TLT=long Treasuries.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets explosive upside with ~36.9% annualized return vs SPY’s ~17.5%, via a rules-based, single-position system of 3x bulls, VIX hedges, and trend filters. Expect higher drawdowns (~58%), but strong upside in favorable regimes.

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.
