About

At extremes, it bets against overheating (buys UVXY) or on rebounds (buys 2x Nasdaq). Otherwise it holds SPY when the trend is up and shifts to gold when the market is weak.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads a 10‑day RSI on QQQ (a quick score of how fast QQQ has been rising or falling; high = hot, low = washed out). If RSI is very high (>79), buy UVXY (a fund that jumps when market volatility spikes). If very low (<31), buy QLD (a 2x Nasdaq bet on a rebound). Otherwise follow the S&P 500 trend: if SPY is above its 200‑day or 30‑day average, hold SPY; if below both, hold GLD (gold).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~37.6% annualized return vs SPY ~30.8%, Sharpe ~2.91 vs ~2.51, Calmar ~7.38; drawdowns ~5%. Simple rules: UVXY hedges, 2x Nasdaq bets, and trend-following for stronger, risk-aware 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.
