About

Daily, it flips between: betting on a volatility spike when markets are overheated, buying 3× tech on rebounds or when risk looks calm, rotating between staples and oil in uptrends, and shorting tech in downtrends.
NutHow it works
RSI = a 0–100 “heat” gauge; >80 very hot, <31 very cold. 200‑day average = long‑term trend line. Daily rules: - If QQQ or SPY are very hot (10‑day RSI>80), buy UVXY (benefits from volatility spikes). - Else if tech looks washed out (TQQQ 10‑day RSI<31) or bonds look steadier than “short tech” (IEF 10‑day RSI > PSQ 20‑day RSI), buy TECL (3× tech). - Else if SPY > 200‑day, hold XLP plus whichever is strongest now: DBO (long oil), SCO (short oil), or XLP. - Else (SPY ≤ 200‑day), hold SQQQ and TECS (3× short tech).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~57% annualized returns with ~1.0 Sharpe vs S&P ~17%, delivering compelling risk-adjusted upside. It captures volatility spikes, tech rebounds, and oil rotations with disciplined risk controls.

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.
