About

A short‑term swing sleeve that rotates among UVXY (fade overheated markets), TQQQ (buy oversold tech for a rebound), and BIL (sit in T‑bills). It times extremes using simple “hot/cold” scores and recent drop/rebound checks.
NutHow it works
It always holds one fund: UVXY (jumps when fear/volatility rises), TQQQ (a 3× tech‑heavy Nasdaq fund), or BIL (T‑bills). It watches a 0–100 “hot/cold” score (RSI) on TQQQ, XLK (tech), VOX (communications), and VTV (value). If any score is very hot (>79), it buys UVXY (betting on a pullback). If TQQQ is very cold (<30), it buys TQQQ (rebound). After ~−12% in 6 days, a big 1‑day pop (>5.5%) is faded with UVXY; else it parks in BIL. Otherwise it stays in BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return 22.73% vs S&P 19.32%; Sharpe ~0.72 vs 1.15; drawdown ~22.7% vs ~18.8%. Rotates UVXY/TQQQ to capture volatility spikes and tech rebounds, aiming for alpha with higher risk tolerance.

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.
