About

Flips to a 3x inverse S&P 500 fund when volatility surges; otherwise holds an equal split of the two strongest names among Apple (1.5x), Microsoft (1.5x), Netflix, Nvidia, and Exxon, based on recent momentum. Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Each day: 1) Check VIXM, a tradable “fear gauge.” If its 40‑day RSI (a 0–100 score of recent up vs down moves) is above 69, buy SPXU, a fund that rises 3x when the S&P 500 falls. 2) Otherwise, rank Apple (AAPU 1.5x), Microsoft (MSFU 1.5x), Netflix, Nvidia, and Exxon by 14‑day RSI and buy the top two, split 50/50.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return: 38.65% vs SPY 23.06%; Sharpe 1.16, Calmar 0.97. A momentum-driven two-name core with a volatility-triggered 3x inverse hedge—higher upside, disciplined risk vs 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.
