About

Daily: if volatility (VIXM) surges, go 100% into SPXU (3× short S&P 500). Otherwise, hold the two strongest among AAPU (1.5× Apple), MSFU (1.5× Microsoft), NFLX, NVDA, and XOM by 14‑day momentum (RSI). Equal weight. High risk and leverage.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks market fear using VIXM (an ETF tied to expected stock‑market volatility). If VIXM’s 40‑day momentum score—RSI, a 0–100 gauge of how strong recent gains have been—is above 69, it bets on a market drop via SPXU (3× inverse S&P 500). Otherwise it buys the 2 strongest of AAPU (1.5× Apple), MSFU (1.5× Microsoft), NFLX (Netflix), NVDA (Nvidia), and XOM (Exxon) by 14‑day RSI, splitting money equally.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~38.6% annualized return vs 23.1% for the S&P, with a volatility-trigger hedge (SPXU) and momentum picks in normal times. Calmar ~0.97; solid risk-adjusted upside, but drawdowns can reach ~40% in stress.

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.
