About

Mostly sits in T‑bills. When market fear (UVXY) rises to a specific band, it briefly shorts the S&P 500 or holds some UVXY. When fear is high or easing, it buys semiconductor dips (SOXL). Otherwise, it stays in cash-like BIL. Daily, rules reset.
NutHow it works
It watches UVXY (a fast “fear” gauge). If fear is low, it sits in BIL (T‑bills). If fear is elevated: - If fear is in a mid‑hot zone, it either shorts the S&P 500 (SPXS) or splits UVXY with BIL. - If fear is calm-ish or extremely hot, it only buys SOXL (semiconductors) on deep dips; otherwise stays in BIL. Daily checks; uses 2x/3x funds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy shows ~131% annualized return vs SPY’s ~59%, with much smaller drawdowns and an exceptional Calmar ratio. It blends cash, volatility cues, and tactical bets (SPXS, SOXL) to capture dips while guarding downside.

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.
