About

Rotates daily among SPY (S&P 500), UVXY (fear/vol), SOXL (3× semis), PSQ (inverse Nasdaq‑100), XLE (energy), and BND (bonds). Uses a long‑term trend filter plus short‑term “hot/cold” signals to switch between offense, defense, and quick hedges.
NutHow it works
First, check trend: if SPY is above its 200‑day average, hold SPY—unless short‑term “heat” (RSI, a 0–100 hot/cold gauge) is extreme, then move to UVXY (fear/volatility). If SPY is below its 200‑day: buy SOXL (3× semis) if tech looks washed out (low RSI). Else, if QQQ just popped, use PSQ (inverse QQQ); otherwise buy XLE (energy). If QQQ is weak, pick BND or PSQ by stronger 10‑day RSI. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based rotation aims for bigger upside than the S&P 500: ~36.5% annualized vs ~24.6%, with strong risk-adjusted metrics (Calmar ~1.31). It blends trend filters with tactical hedges to pursue growth while controlling downside.

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.
