About

High‑octane, rules‑based switcher: fade overheated stock pops with UVXY, buy 3× tech rebounds after sharp selloffs, or sit in T‑Bills/bonds/gold when fear rises. Uses simple hot/cold (RSI), VIX trend, and Tech‑vs‑Staples leadership to pick risk‑on/off.
NutHow it works
It flips quickly based on simple “heat/cold” and fear checks. - RSI (a 10‑day hot/cold gauge): very hot pops → buy UVXY (a fear ETF) for a brief volatility bump; deep drops → buy 3× tech/semis/S&P (TECL/SOXL/SPXL) for snap‑backs, or hide in T‑Bills (BIL)/long bonds (TMF). - It also uses VIX trends (VIXY), Tech vs Staples (XLK vs XLP), and bond trends to choose risk‑on vs defensive mixes (incl. SVXY, VIXM, BTAL, gold).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 66.8% annualized vs 22.5% for the S&P; Sharpe 1.77 vs 1.41; beta 0.73 (lower market risk); Calmar 3.20. Superior risk-adjusted upside with occasional drawdowns, vs 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.
