About

A contrarian, high-octane switcher: it buys UVXY after big, overbought pops as a short-term pullback bet, otherwise rotates between leveraged tech, bonds, commodities, or defensive volatility mixes based on simple market-regime checks.
NutHow it works
It watches for short, sharp “pops” in stocks. When things look too hot, it jumps into UVXY (a fund that usually surges when markets pull back). If no pop, it labels the backdrop (risk-on vs risk-off) using simple trend/volatility gauges and rotates among: leveraged tech (TECL/SOXL/SPXL), Treasuries (TMF), gold/commodities (UGL/DBC), or defensive volatility mixes (SVXY/VIXM/BTAL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.87 vs 1.41, Calmar 3.69, and ~86% annualized return vs ~23% for the S&P. Drawdowns exist, but the strategy delivers stronger risk-adjusted alpha via regime-switching and volatility hedges.

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.
