About

Aggressive daily system: buys dips in leveraged tech/S&P funds, hedges with UVXY when markets look overheated, and in high stress flips between long or short long‑term Treasuries; otherwise picks the most beaten‑down fund to ride a bounce.
NutHow it works
RSI = a short‑term “hot/cold” score (0–100). Each day it splits money across mini‑bots that: if QQQ or S&P look too hot (RSI>80) it buys UVXY (benefits if stocks wobble); if TQQQ/SPXL/SOXL look washed out (RSI<30) it buys that dip; else it picks the weakest fund from a small list (tech, S&P, short‑term bonds; sometimes commodities). In very rough markets it switches to a bond trade, choosing TMF (long bonds) or TMV (short bonds) using recent drawdown.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~70% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.10, Calmar ~0.91 over 1,175 days. With volatility hedges and bond rotation, it targets far higher growth than the S&P while actively managing risk.

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.
