About

Daily ARKK timer using simple “heat” gauges. Above its 50‑day trend: too hot → short (SARK), too cold → 2× long (TARK). Otherwise it only holds ARKK/TARK when bonds look stronger; else parks in T‑Bills (BIL). Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
RSI = a 0–100 'heat' score of recent price moves (80=very hot, 30=very cold). Funds used: ARKK (innovation stocks), SARK (moves opposite ARKK), TARK (about 2× ARKK), BIL (T‑Bills). Rules: If ARKK is below its 50‑day average → BIL. Else: very hot → SARK; very cold → TARK; in‑between, it only holds ARKK/TARK when bonds show stronger short‑term momentum and long‑term bond trend is favorable; otherwise BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: lower downside risk (13.8% max drawdown vs 18.8%), low beta (~0.14), and strong risk controls (Calmar ~0.79) via dynamic hedges, while delivering ~10.9% annualized return— a more risk-efficient alternative to 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.
