About

All-in, rules-based switcher. Buys UVXY when tech (QQQ) is extremely hot, QLD when tech is washed out. Otherwise follows the S&P 500 trend: holds SPY when rising and shifts to gold (GLD) when SPY weakens below its 30‑day average.
NutHow it works
It switches 100% into one ETF at a time using two signals: - QQQ’s 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 short‑term “heat” score). If >79: buy UVXY (2x volatility). If <31: buy QLD (2x Nasdaq). - Otherwise, use SPY’s trend (price vs 200‑/30‑day average). Hold SPY if trending up; if SPY falls below its 30‑day average, hold GLD (gold).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 32.18% vs SPY 27.09%, with higher Sharpe (2.61) and Calmar (6.32). Drawdowns ~5.1%. A disciplined, all-in strategy blending trend, mean-reversion, and hedging—better risk-adjusted upside than 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.
