About

Rule-based switch among UVXY (volatility), TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), and T‑Bills. Buys UVXY when markets look overheated or after whipsaw pops, buys TQQQ only when deeply oversold, and sits in T‑Bills the rest of the time.
NutHow it works
It’s a switch. It checks short‑term “heat” and “cold” readings on tech and related markets. - If they look very hot, it buys UVXY (a fear/volatility play). - If the Nasdaq‑100 (3x) looks very cold, it buys TQQQ. - After sharp drops, it mostly holds T‑Bills (BIL), unless there’s a huge 1‑day pop, then it buys UVXY. - Otherwise it stays in BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 22.45% annualized return vs 19.40% for the S&P. Calmar ~1.0 signals solid risk-adjusted upside; it uses volatility spikes and tech rebounds (UVXY/TQQQ) for higher upside in volatile regimes, with larger drawdown (~22.7% vs 18.8%).

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.
