About

A fast‑switching, high‑risk strategy that uses short‑term “heat” gauges and long‑term trend lines to jump between a volatility spike bet (UVXY), leveraged Big Tech up/down (FNGU/FNGD, TECL), the strongest of energy/dollar/SPY, or cash (SHV). Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks two things: short‑term “heat” (RSI) and the long‑term trend (200‑day average). If Nasdaq looks extremely hot, it bets on a fear spike (UVXY). If tech looks washed out, it buys 3x tech (TECL). Otherwise it either goes 3x Big Tech (FNGU), owns the strongest of energy (XLE), US dollar (UUP), or S&P 500 (SPY), or—if the market trends down—shorts Big Tech (FNGD) or holds T‑bills (SHV). RSI = hot/cold; 200‑day = trend line.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~73% annualized return vs ~21% for the S&P, with Calmar 5.45 and strong risk-adjusted gains from tech, volatility, and cross-asset momentum. Expect higher volatility and drawdowns but far higher compounding potential.

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.
