About

Daily timer that flips between cash (BIL), 3x stock bulls (UPRO/TQQQ/HIBL), 3x stock bears (SPXU/SQQQ/HIBS), or 2x gold (UGL) using SPY’s 20‑day trend, an RSI up/down‑days score, and short‑term returns to decide risk‑on vs risk‑off.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks SPY vs its 20‑day average (about 1 month). If below: go defensive. If RSI (0–100 score of recent up vs down days) >50 and SPY is down over 10 days, buy the best‑performing inverse ETF; otherwise hold BIL (T‑Bills). If RSI ≤50: if RSI <32 (oversold) buy the strongest 2x/3x S&P/Nasdaq ETF; else pick SPY or BIL by 20‑day results. If above: if SPY is up over 10 days, buy the 2x/3x ETF (stocks or gold) that just dipped; else BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this levered tactical strategy targets ~62% annual return, ~1.53 Sharpe, ~3.51 Calmar, with ~17.7% max drawdown—delivering stronger risk-adjusted growth 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.
