About

Daily, all-in timing of 2x gold ETFs. Own UGL when gold trends up; if the move looks overheated, switch to GLL. In downtrends, favor GLL but buy UGL on oversold bounces. Pure gold exposure with leverage—expect very high volatility and risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks one of two 2x gold funds: UGL (up 2x when gold rises) or GLL (up 2x when gold falls). It looks at UGL’s trend (moving averages) and a “heat” gauge called RSI (0–100; high=overbought, low=oversold). In uptrends it holds UGL unless RSI is very high, then it switches to GLL. In downtrends it prefers GLL, but flips to UGL on oversold bounces.

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.
