About

A fast, rule‑based swing strategy: hedge with UVXY when stocks look overheated; buy 3x tech/semis after sharp drops; otherwise fall back to T‑Bills or Treasuries, gold, dollar, or market‑neutral. Uses RSI, short‑term moves, and trend checks to switch.
NutHow it works
Goal: profit from swings while capping damage. It keeps reading simple gauges: - RSI = a heat gauge; high = “too hot”, low = “washed‑out”. - 1–6 day drops/surges. - Trend: tech vs staples, stocks vs utilities, bonds. If stocks look too hot, it buys UVXY (benefits when volatility jumps). After sharp sell‑offs or very low RSI, it buys 3x tech/semis funds (TECL/SOXL/SPXL) for a rebound. If risk is high, it parks in T‑Bills (BIL) or shifts to Treasuries (TMF/TMV), gold, US dollar, or market‑neutral (BTAL). It rotates often.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this dynamic rotation beats the S&P on a risk-adjusted basis: Sharpe 1.68 vs 1.41, Calmar 2.48, beta ~0.94, and 64.9% annualized return vs 22.5%. It hedges volatility and shifts to safety when risk rises, while chasing rebounds.

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.
