About

Daily strategy that flips between 3x long miners (GDXU), 3x short miners (GDXD), or T‑Bills (BIL). It fades extremes in miners (via RSI) and uses trends in tech (QQQ) and bonds (TLT) to decide risk-on, risk-off, or cash.
NutHow it works
The strategy rotates among three positions: 3x long gold miners (GDXU), 3x short miners (GDXD), or cash-like T‑Bills (BIL). It uses a “hot/cold” gauge called RSI (0–100; >70 = hot, <30 = cold) on miners. Very hot → bet against miners (GDXD). Very cold → maybe buy miners (GDXU) only if tech (QQQ) trends strong; else stay in BIL. Extra trend checks with QQQ and bonds (TLT) pick long/short/cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ≈3.48 vs S&P ≈2.30, with alpha/Calmar edge from a tactical 3x miners rotation. Potentially higher upside than the S&P, plus disciplined cash hedges—balanced by higher volatility.

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.
