About

Daily crash‑hedge: if consumer‑staples (XLP) looks overheated on a 10‑day speed gauge (RSI > 75), move 100% into UVXY to try to benefit from a volatility spike; otherwise stay 100% in BIL (short‑term T‑bills). Mostly cash, occasional long‑vol bet.
NutHow it works
Each day, it checks XLP (a fund of big consumer‑staples names like Procter & Gamble/Coca‑Cola). It uses a 0–100 “speed” gauge of recent price moves (RSI, over 10 days). If that gauge is very hot (>75), it buys UVXY—a fund that tends to jump when stocks drop. Otherwise it parks all cash in BIL (T‑bills). Repeats daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Crisis-hedge strategy: in calm markets stays in Treasuries; in stress, targets volatility spikes via UVXY. Adds diversification and downside protection to a SPY-heavy portfolio, though out-of-sample results show mixed returns and larger drawdowns.

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.
