About

A tactical ARK/tech strategy: ride rallies with TARK, flip to SARK and volatility/dollar hedges when moves look overstretched, using bond and dollar signals to confirm risk-on/off. Includes a small next‑day bounce module.
NutHow it works
It’s a fast, rules-based ARK/tech swing system. It mainly flips between TARK (2x long ARKK) when growth looks healthy and SARK (short ARKK) when moves look overdone. “Overdone” or “washed‑out” is judged by a simple hot/cold meter (RSI = how stretched a price move is). Bonds and the dollar act as weather vanes (BIL vs IEF/LQD, IEI vs IEF, UUP vs TLT) to confirm risk‑on/off. If overheated, it hedges with VIX (UVXY/VIXY), dollar, or anti‑beta (BTAL). A tiny “See You Tmrw” piece hunts 1–2 day bounces.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: about 46.7% annualized return vs SPY ~21%, with a Calmar ratio around 1.36 and built-in hedges. Higher upside potential with risk controls - note larger drawdowns and greater complexity than the market.

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.
