About

A daily, tactical swing strategy for gold‑miner stocks: use an RSI “heat meter” to flip between 3x long miners (GDXU), 3x short miners (GDXD), or cash (BIL), with QQQ and TLT as cross‑checks for when to play offense or sit out.
NutHow it works
It watches gold‑miner stocks using a short‑term “heat meter” (RSI, 0–100). If miners look very hot (RSI>79), it bets on a pullback with GDXD (3x fund that rises when miners fall). If very cold (RSI<30), it may buy GDXU (3x fund that rises with miners) if simple momentum checks look supportive; otherwise it parks in BIL (T‑Bills). It also checks QQQ (big‑tech) and TLT (long Treasuries) to choose between cash or a bearish stance. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
An adaptive 3x gold-miner strategy using RSI heat and cross-asset signals to flip between long miners, inverse miners, or cash. It offers diversification with often negative market beta and a positive out-of-sample risk-adjusted edge vs. the S&P 500.

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.
