About

UVXY momentum drives a one-time, equal-weight rotation into a prioritized ETF list; if UVXY is extreme, cash goes into the first qualifying ETF (or SPY as fallback) with no frequent rebalancing.
NutHow it works
If UVXY shows very strong short-term momentum (RSI > 79 on a 10-day lookback), the system tests a priority list of ETFs (QQQE, VTV, VOX, TECL, VOOG, VOOV, XLP, TQQQ, XLY, FAS, SPY). The first asset in the list that meets the rule gets allocated cash equally with any others that qualify. If none qualify, SPY is used. There is no automatic rebalancing; changes are infrequent and bounded by a small corridor width (0.1).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results show this strategy beating SPY on risk-adjusted return: Sharpe roughly 1.42 vs 1.05, annualized return ~70% vs ~18%, and Calmar about 2.96. Expect higher drawdowns (~24% vs ~19%), but with volatility-driven ETF rotation for diversification.

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.
