About

A fast, one‑trade‑at‑a‑time switcher: fade “too‑hot” markets via UVXY, buy sharp tech/market dips with 3x bulls, or sit in diversifiers (KMLM/FTLS/UUP) when tech lags. Chooses among 4 similar playbooks by recent movement. High risk, big swings.
NutHow it works
It hunts for extremes using a simple “hot/cold” score (RSI). If many stock/sector funds look too hot, it briefly buys UVXY (a fund that jumps when markets drop). If tech/semis/markets look washed out, it buys 3x bull funds (TECL/SOXL/SPXL). Otherwise it compares Tech vs KMLM (managed futures): if Tech is stronger, it buys the dip in TECL/SOXL or short‑vol (SVIX); if not, it parks in diversifiers like KMLM/FTLS/UUP or sometimes TLT/SQQQ. It runs 4 close variants and uses the one moving most lately. Uses very risky, swingy ETFs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Volatility-aware, 4-playbook strategy that targets extreme moves in tech, volatility and macro regimes. Out-of-sample: ~16.4% annualized return, ~0.58 Sharpe, and ~37.38% max drawdown—delivers a distinct risk/return profile to diversify 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.
