About

A daily, event-driven system that treats UVXY as a fear thermometer: buy UVXY as fear builds, flip to semiconductors at peak panic, hide in T‑Bills when calm, and buy the most beaten‑down 3x fund when the S&P 500 is very oversold.
NutHow it works
Daily it reads two gauges: RSI (a 0–100 “hot/cold” speedometer of recent price moves) and UVXY (a fund that jumps when market fear spikes). If SPY’s RSI <30, it buys the most beaten‑down of SOXL (3x semis), TECL (3x tech), UPRO (3x S&P 500) or TMF (3x long Treasuries). Otherwise it uses UVXY’s RSI: 74–84 → buy UVXY; >84 → pivot to SOXL; <74 → hold BIL (T‑Bills). Two versions of these rules run and are averaged 50/50.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic fear/volatility rotation designed to capture upside and reduce risk. In out-of-sample tests: 36.1% annualized return vs 23.1% for the S&P 500, max drawdown 2.5% vs 18.8%, Sharpe 2.10 vs 1.27 - stronger, smoother performance.

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.
