About

A tactical swing strategy: fade overheated markets by buying volatility (UVXY), buy deep stock market dips with leveraged ETFs (TQQQ/SOXL/SPXL), and otherwise park in a dividend/growth mix. Driven by RSI “hot/cold” readings; very high risk.
NutHow it works
It watches a “heat gauge” (RSI) on major stock funds. When many look very hot (RSI ~80), it buys a volatility fund (UVXY) that usually jumps when stocks dip. If volatility is already hot, it either stays in vol (VIXM) or buys the S&P 500 on deep dips (SPXL). In calm times, it buys big dips in tech/semis (TQQQ/SOXL) or, if no dips, holds dividend/growth ETFs (SCHG, QQQH, DGRO, SCHD). High risk; uses leveraged/vol funds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~52% annualized return vs ~20% for SPY, Sharpe ~1.18 vs ~1.03, and Calmar ~3.0—indicating stronger risk-adjusted growth. Slightly higher drawdown (~17.4% vs ~16.2%), but with compelling upside potential.

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.
