About

Rules-based, risk-on/risk-off plan: hedge with UVXY when markets look overheated, otherwise ride tech/semiconductor trends (SOXL/SOXS) and default to ~1.5x QQQ in uptrends, shifting to T‑bills (BIL) in downtrends.
NutHow it works
RSI = a short‑term “hot/cold” score (high=overbought, low=oversold). 1) If the market or big sectors look extremely hot, buy UVXY (benefits when volatility jumps). 2) Otherwise, focus on semis: if too hot or weak vs KMLM (a trend‑following fund), use SOXS (3x down); if strong, use SOXL (3x up). 3) Big filter: Above SPY’s 200‑day avg = ~1.5x QQQ (QQQ+QLD), with brief SQQQ hedges if QQQ overheats; below it = mostly BIL (T‑bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~23.1% annualized return vs SPY ~19%, positive alpha ~0.26 and Calmar ~0.32. Tactical tech/semis with volatility hedges target growth in uptrends, but expect larger downturn drawdowns (~72.6%).

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.
