About

Daily tactical strategy: chase tech strength, hedge overheated markets with VIX funds, and fall back to diversifiers like KMLM (managed futures), long/short, the US dollar, bonds, or cash. It also buys deep dips. Aggressive and high risk due to leveraged/volatility ETFs.
NutHow it works
It flips daily between two modes using a simple hot–cold gauge (RSI: 0–100; >80 = overheated, <30 = washed out). If tech is strong, it loads leveraged tech funds (e.g., TQQQ/TECL/SOXL) and sometimes short‑vol (SVIX/SVXY). If prices run too hot, it hedges with VIX funds (VXX/UVIX/VIXY/VIXM; tied to the “fear index”). When momentum fades, it rotates to diversifiers: KMLM (managed‑futures across commodities/currencies/rates), FTLS (long/short), UUP (US dollar), bonds (TMF/TMV), or cash (BIL/SGOV). It also buys sharp dips.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Calmar 15.46 and oos Sharpe ~2.93 with positive alpha, driven by tech momentum, hedges (VIX), and diversifiers. Higher upside and robust risk control vs. S&P—though drawdowns can be larger in crises.

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.
