About

A fast, high-risk switcher: when stocks run too hot it buys a fear hedge (UVXY); after sharp drops it buys 3x tech/semis for rebounds; if bonds or defensives lead, it parks in Treasuries or cash. Repeats this rotation using short-term signals.
NutHow it works
It watches three things: heat, shocks, and leadership. Heat: a 0–100 “hot/cold” gauge of recent moves (RSI). If many stock indexes look too hot, it flips into UVXY (a fund that jumps when fear spikes). Shocks: after big 1–6 day pops it hedges; after big drops it buys 3x tech/semis (TECL, SOXL, TQQQ). Leadership: if bonds/defensives lead, it shifts to Treasuries (TMF) or cash (BIL). It rotates daily between offense and defense.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers far higher risk-adjusted gains than the S&P 500: annualized return ≈68% vs 22%, Sharpe ≈1.77 vs 1.41, Calmar ≈2.78, and lower beta (~0.93). Higher upside with disciplined risk controls.

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.
