About

Aggressive, daily plan that rides S&P uptrends with 3× UPRO, parks in T‑Bills when rallies look overheated, and in downtrends flips among buying dips, shorting the S&P (SPXU), or long Treasuries (TLT). Very high risk and frequent switches.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks trend and short‑term “heat.” - If SPY (S&P 500 ETF) is above its 200‑day average, it holds UPRO (3× S&P) unless RSI says things look too hot (~>80); then it parks in BIL (T‑Bills). - If below, it buys UPRO on deep dips (RSI <~30); otherwise, if UPRO is weak short‑term, it owns whichever is stronger: SPXU (−3× S&P) or TLT (long Treasuries). Else it toggles between SPXU and UPRO by RSI. RSI: 0–100 heat gauge; >70 hot, <30 washed out.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~47% annualized return vs ~19-20% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.05. It rides uptrends with leverage, hedges heat, and seeks stronger risk-adjusted results - aware of ~45% 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.
