About

Buys UVXY on overheat spikes, buys 3x equity ETFs on deep dips, and otherwise switches between risk‑on (leveraged tech/short‑vol) and risk‑off (inverse Nasdaq or Treasuries) using a tech‑vs‑KMLM trend check. Very volatile, event‑driven strategy.
NutHow it works
It’s an all‑in tactical switcher. 1) If markets look “overheated” (RSI, a 0–100 speedometer of recent moves, is ~80+ on broad sectors), it buys UVXY, which jumps when fear/vol spikes. 2) If certain 3x stock funds look “oversold” (RSI ~25–30), it buys that fund for a bounce. 3) Otherwise, it compares tech (XLK) to KMLM (a trend‑following managed‑futures ETF). If tech looks stronger, it buys the two most beaten‑down of TECL/SOXL/SVIX. If futures look stronger (risk‑off), it holds whichever is stronger: SQQQ or TLT. Note: uses very volatile funds; big swings are possible.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.87 vs SPY 1.0, alpha ~1.18%, Calmar ~7.41, and ~233% annualized OOS return vs ~17% for S&P. Higher upside with regime-switch risk control - note larger drawdowns.

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.
