About

Rules-based swing strategy: a SVOL income core plus tactical tech/S&P leverage and VIX hedges. Buys tech on deep dips, goes long volatility when markets are overheated, and shifts defensive when volatility or bond signals warn.
NutHow it works
Core: keep ~40–62.5% in SVOL (a steady, volatility‑linked income fund). The rest rotates. RSI (a 0–100 “heat” gauge) on QQQ/XLK/SPY/VOOG drives moves: very high = markets look stretched, so buy UVXY (benefits when fear jumps); very low = buy TECL/SPXL (3× bulls) or bonds for rebounds. In calm uptrends, hold TECL with SVOL. If swings spike, shift to calmer picks (SVOL, BTAL, VIXM, short‑term bonds) or Treasuries based on bond trends.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy blends SVOL income with tech upside, delivering ~49% annualized return vs ~23% for the S&P, plus a strong risk-adjusted profile (Calmar ~1.59) and volatility hedges that diversify and cushion drawdowns.

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.
