About

Aggressive, rules‑based switcher among SPXL (3x S&P 500), SPXU (3x short), VIXY/UVXY (fear), and TLT (Treasuries). Uses trend, hot/overbought vs cold/oversold (RSI), recent drops, and volatility to ride rallies and protect or profit in selloffs. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
First it checks the long‑term trend: is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average? If yes, it usually holds SPXL (3x S&P 500). If prices look overheated (RSI = a 0–100 “hot/cold” score) or after sharp drops, it may flip to SPXU (3x short) or to fear‑index funds VIXY/UVXY. If swings get wild, it parks in TLT (long U.S. Treasuries). If SPY is below its 200‑day, it mainly plays defense with SPXU, VIXY/UVXY or TLT, with brief bounce trades in SPXL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Promising upside: oos return 50.7% vs SPY 22.2%, Calmar ~1.13 offers solid risk-control. Dynamic levered exposure + volatility hedges aim for big rallies; but expect larger drawdowns (~45%) in drops.

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.
