About

Daily S&P 500 timing with leveraged ETFs: ride UPRO in uptrends but park in cash (BIL) if short‑term is overheated. In downtrends, buy sharp dips with UPRO; otherwise rotate to bonds (TLT) or short exposure (SPXU) based on short‑term strength.
NutHow it works
SPY=S&P 500; UPRO=3x SPY; SPXU=−3x SPY; TLT=US Treasuries; BIL=T‑bills (cash). RSI(10)=0–100 heat score (>80 hot, <30 cold). 200d/20d MA=long/short trend lines. If SPY>200d: hold UPRO unless RSI hot (UPRO>79 or SPY>80) → BIL. Else: if cold (UPRO<31 or SPY<30) → UPRO; else if UPRO<20d → stronger of SPXU or TLT; else if SPXU<31 → SPXU; else UPRO. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~47% annualized return vs 19.6% for S&P, Calmar ~1.05, Sharpe ~1.03—strong upside with reasonable risk. Drawdown ~44.7% vs ~18.8% for SPY; higher risk, higher potential rewards.

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.
