About

A rule‑based, high‑risk swing strategy: sell euphoria by buying volatility funds, buy panic with 3× bull ETFs, and otherwise flip between long/short Nasdaq or Treasuries using a simple trend and momentum test.
NutHow it works
It uses a simple “heat meter” (RSI, 0–100). Above ~80 = overheated; below ~30 = washed‑out. - Overheated: buy fear funds UVXY/VIXY (they jump when volatility spikes). - Washed‑out: buy 3× bull funds (SOXL/TECL/UPRO) to catch rebounds. - Otherwise: if SPY (S&P 500) is above its long‑term trend, pick TQQQ (3× Nasdaq‑100) or PSQ (short QQQ) using a bonds‑vs‑short‑S&P momentum check. If below trend, pick the stronger of SQQQ (3× short Nasdaq) or TLT (Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~37% annualized return vs SPY’s ~17%, with Calmar ~0.63. A dynamic mix of volatility hedges, 3x bulls, and Treasuries seeks trend capture with risk control—though drawdowns can be large.

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.
