About

Keeps ~73% in cash and puts ~27% into one aggressive ETF. Uses bond‑vs‑high‑beta RSI to choose bull or bear, then buys the weakest recent performer for a potential bounce. Rebalanced daily; concentrated and uses leveraged/inverse ETFs.
NutHow it works
Daily it compares which looks stronger over the past week: safe Treasuries (IEI) or volatile stocks (SPHB) using RSI, a 0–100 gauge of recent price strength. If bonds lead, it buys one beaten‑down bull ETF (e.g., TARK=2x ARKK, TECL=3x Tech, UPRO=3x S&P, TMF=3x long Treasuries). If stocks lead, it buys one beaten‑down bear ETF (e.g., SARK=short ARKK, PSQ=short Nasdaq‑100, DRV=short real estate). ~27% goes into that one pick; ~73% stays in cash. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~80% vs SPY ~23%, with Calmar ~2 and Sharpe ~1.24. Higher upside but larger drawdowns (~40% vs ~19%). A cash-buffered, contrarian, single‑position strategy seeking big gains with disciplined risk.

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.
