About

Rules-based portfolio that hedges with UVXY when markets get overheated, rides strong uptrends using 3x tech/stock funds, and rotates to Treasuries, cash, gold, or defensive funds when selloffs or volatility appear. Signals use RSI, VIX, fast moves, and sector tells.
NutHow it works
Simple idea under many rules: - If stocks look “too hot” (RSI ~80 on broad funds), briefly buy UVXY (jumps when fear spikes), aiming to catch a pullback. - If trend is calm/up, ride fast movers (3x tech/semis/SP500). - If drops are sharp or fear rises (VIX, drawdowns), shift to Treasuries (TMF), cash (BIL), gold (UGL) or defensive funds (BTAL/SVXY). Signals: RSI=hot/cold gauge, quick % moves, drawdown, VIX trend, tech vs staples/utilities.

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.
