About

A daily, tactical swing strategy: fade overheated markets with VIX, buy oversold tech for rebounds, and otherwise rotate among short‑vol, broad stocks, bonds, or cash using simple “heat” (RSI) and trend checks.
NutHow it works
It’s a fast, daily strategy that watches a short‑term “heat” score (RSI: a 0–100 gauge of how fast prices moved recently). - If stocks look too hot (RSI ~80+), it buys “fear” funds (VIXY/UVXY) to profit if markets cool off. - If tech looks washed out (RSI ~30−), it buys high‑beta tech (TQQQ/TECL/XLK) for a bounce. - Otherwise it rides calmer trends (SVXY or VTI), shifts into bonds (TMF/TLT/BND), or goes defensive (BTAL/SHV).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: -2.62% annualized; max drawdown 38.6%; Sharpe 0.21; beta 0.98. Not a growth proxy for the S&P, but a volatility hedge and diversification sleeve to help dampen risk in stressed markets.

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.
