About

A daily tactical strategy for gold‑miner stocks that flips between 3x long (GDXU), 3x short (GDXD), or cash (BIL) using an overbought/oversold gauge on miners and quick trend checks on QQQ and TLT. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Rebalances daily among: - GDXU: 3x up bet on gold‑miner stocks - GDXD: 3x down bet on the same stocks - BIL: T‑Bills (cash) It reads a 0–100 “heat” gauge (RSI) on GDXU: very hot (>79) → switch to GDXD (fade); very cold (<30) → switch to GDXU (rebound). Otherwise it compares recent returns of QQQ (big tech) and TLT (long Treasuries) and minor GDXU trends to pick GDXU, GDXD, or cash. 3x notes are very risky.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~15 vs SPY ~4, near-zero beta, with cash guardrails. A tactical 3x long/short gold-miners strategy diversifies risk, cushions drawdowns, and aims for stronger risk-adjusted gains beyond a pure S&P approach.

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.
