About

Rotates between tech (XLK) and managed futures (KMLM) using a short‑term strength score. When both slump, it buys leveraged semis (SOXL). When both surge, it buys 2x VIX (UVIX). A timing‑heavy, high‑risk approach.
NutHow it works
It looks back ~10 trading days. If both tech (XLK) and a trend‑following diversifier (KMLM) are down more than ~1%, it buys a high‑octane semiconductor fund (SOXL) to bet on a rebound. If both are up more than ~5%, it buys a 2x VIX fund (UVIX) to bet on a volatility jump. Otherwise, it holds whichever of XLK or KMLM has the stronger recent‑strength score (RSI). It goes all‑in to that choice; the extreme funds are very risky.
CheckmarkValue prop
Timing-driven mix of tech momentum and macro-trend exposure with hedges (SOXL/UVIX). Out-of-sample results show a distinct return driver and diversification, offering potential upside in regime shifts and complement to the S&P 500.

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.
