About

Rules-based, rebalanced daily. In uptrends it rides 3x tech/market ETFs; when moves look overheated it flips to UVIX, and when weak it rotates to inverse funds, bonds, cash, or USD. Also adapts to commodity volatility. Very high risk due to leverage.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks two things: trend and heat. - Trend: If SPY is above its 200-day average (uptrend), it plays offense (TQQQ, SOXL, SPXL/UPRO; sometimes TMF). Otherwise it plays defense. - Heat: RSI is a 0–100 ‘heat gauge’. Very hot (>~75)? Briefly buy UVIX (fear hedge). Very cold (<~30) or fast drops? Use SQQQ/SPXS/SOXS, BIL/AGG, or USDU. It also watches commodities (DBC): more strength/volatility = more defense.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperformance: OOS annualized return ~26% vs SPY ~23%, with a positive Sharpe (~0.70). Uses leverage on tech bets with hedges and regime rules to capture upside, but can suffer drawdowns in stressed markets.

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.
