About

A daily, high‑risk swing strategy. If the market is healthy, it buys beaten‑down leveraged “bull” ETFs; if things look overheated or fear spikes, it switches to inverse ETFs. Always holds one ETF, chosen by recent 4‑day weakness. Very volatile.
NutHow it works
First, it checks if the market is in an uptrend (SPY vs its 200‑day average). Then it looks at the Nasdaq (QQQ/TQQQ) for fast drops, overheated/washed‑out signs (RSI = a price‑speed gauge; high=hot, low=cold), and fear spikes (UVXY). It buys 1 ETF: either a leveraged “bull” fund after drops or an inverse fund after surges, picking the one that fell most over ~4 days. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~72% annualized return vs SPY ~25%, Calmar ~1.17 and Sharpe ~1.05. Regime-switching between leveraged bulls and inverse ETFs targets broad upside across markets. But expect higher volatility and drawdowns (~62%).

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.
