About

A tactical switcher: if major indexes/sectors look overheated short term, it jumps into UVXY (volatility). Otherwise it flips between SOXL (long semis) and SOXS (short semis) using SOXX’s RSI, recent returns, and SPY’s 200‑day trend filter.
NutHow it works
All-in, one position at a time. 1) If big indexes/sectors look very “hot” on a 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 speedometer of recent up vs. down moves; >~80 = overheated), it buys UVXY (a VIX spike bet). 2) Otherwise it trades semiconductors: picks SOXL (3x bull) when SOXX looks washed‑out (low RSI) and SOXS (3x bear) when it looks hot (high RSI). SPY vs its 200‑day average splits bear/bull regimes and sets how big a recent 1/5/25‑day jump must be.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~57% annualized return vs ~17% for the S&P; Sharpe ~0.96, Calmar ~0.68. A disciplined UVXY/semiconductor timing approach aiming for outsized, risk-adjusted gains from volatility and sector swings.

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.
