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
Out-of-sample, this volatility-led, event-driven strategy delivers about 22.1% annual return with ~15% max drawdown and Calmar ~1.48, offering stronger downside protection and better risk-adjusted upside versus the S&P 500.

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.
