About

Buys UVXY when major markets look overheated, expecting a volatility spike. Otherwise, it trades only semiconductors, flipping between 3x long (SOXL) and 3x inverse (SOXS) based on short‑term strength and RSI, with SPY’s 200‑day trend as a regime filter.
NutHow it works
1) If big indexes/sectors look “overheated” (their 10‑day RSI ≈80+), buy UVXY, a fund that usually jumps when market fear/volatility spikes. 2) Otherwise trade only semiconductors: use SOXX to pick SOXL (3x long) if semis look washed‑out (low RSI after a short‑term pop), or SOXS (3x inverse) if they look stretched. A 200‑day average on SPY sets how strict the rules are.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~53.6% annualized return vs SPY ~17.2%, Sharpe ~0.94, Calmar ~0.63. Trades volatility (UVXY) and semis using a SPY 200‑day regime filter for upside in volatile markets—though large drawdowns are possible.

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.
