About

Fades extremes, then follows trend. Overheated markets switch to VIX funds; oversold markets buy 2–3x bull ETFs; otherwise it uses a 200‑day trend to choose between TQQQ/PSQ in uptrends and SQQQ or TLT in downtrends.
NutHow it works
One-position, rules-based. It uses a 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 “heat” score): if SPY/QQQ or big sectors (XLK=tech, XLF=banks, XLP=staples, VOX=comms, VTV=value) look too hot (>~79), it flips into VIX funds (UVXY/VIXY) that often pop when stocks slip. If things look too cold (<~30), it buys 2–3x bull funds (TQQQ, UPRO, SOXL, TECL, LABU, QLD, SSO, ROM). Otherwise it follows trend: above the 200‑day ⇒ TQQQ (unless stress, then PSQ); below ⇒ SQQQ or TLT, whichever is stronger.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy seeks higher upside than the S&P via leveraged bets, VIX hedges, and trend signals. It delivers ~43% annualized return with Calmar ~0.80 (Sharpe ~0.82) vs SPY ~18%, but with ~54% max drawdown.

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.
