About

A tactical “pop catcher” that buys volatility (UVXY) when stocks look overheated, buys quick bounces in leveraged tech/semis/S&P when oversold, and falls back to a managed‑futures/defensive mix when no signal. Very high risk and highly active.
NutHow it works
It’s a “pop catcher.” Each day it checks a short‑term heat meter (RSI, a 0–100 score of how fast prices climbed or fell). If many stock/sector funds look too hot (≈80+), it jumps into UVXY—a fund that surges when fear rises—aiming to catch a pullback. If nothing is hot, it hunts quick bounces in 3x tech/semis/S&P when they look washed‑out (RSI ≈30). If no clear trade, it switches between aggressive tech/short‑vol and a calmer mix (incl. KMLM, a trend‑following fund across commodities, currencies, and rates).
CheckmarkValue prop
Outpaces the S&P by exploiting short-term heat and mean reversion with volatility bets and quick bounces. Out-of-sample: ~69% annualized return vs ~21% for the S&P; Calmar ~2.5; Sharpe ~1.15. Higher volatility and ~27% drawdown accompany bigger upside.

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.
