About

All-in momentum with a crash switch: hold the single strongest pick among chips, energy, SPY, commodities, or solar—unless the market’s fear gauge (VIXM) is surging, then jump into VIXM to seek gains during selloffs. High risk, concentrated, trend-driven.
NutHow it works
It checks a fear gauge (VIXM, an ETF tied to stock‑market volatility). If its 40‑day “speed” score (RSI, 0–100) is above 69—meaning fear is surging—it buys VIXM to try to benefit from a selloff. Otherwise it holds exactly one thing: whichever has the strongest ~3‑month trend among chips (SOXX/NVDA/AMD), S&P 500 (SPY), energy (XLE), commodities (DBC), or solar (ENPH). It switches when the leader changes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats SPY on risk-adjusted returns: Sharpe ~1.41 vs 1.09, Calmar ~1.9, plus positive alpha. It adds crash protection by switching to VIXM during spikes, while betting on the strongest trend.

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.
