About

A daily, rules‑based swing strategy: go 3x long SPY/QQQ on sharp dips, shift to UVXY when markets look overheated, otherwise hold SPY/QQQ. Uses 3 timeframes to spread timing risk. High risk due to leverage and UVXY.
NutHow it works
Your money is split 50/50 between the S&P 500 (SPY) and the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ). Each half is split into 3 slices using 7/10/14‑day RSI—a 0–100 “heat” gauge of recent ups vs downs. If RSI is very low, it buys 3x versions (SPXL/TQQQ) to ride a rebound. If very high, it moves to UVXY (a volatility fund that jumps when stocks wobble). Otherwise it holds SPY/QQQ. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
High-upside, rule-based strategy delivering ~30% annualized returns out-of-sample vs ~16% for the S&P, using RSI-driven 3x bets and UVXY hedges across two sleeves. Expect higher drawdowns (~27% vs ~19%), but stronger long-run risk-adjusted upside.

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.
