About

A daily on/off switch: if consumer‑staples look very overheated on a 10‑day “speedometer,” it bets on a market drop and rising fear (50% SH, 50% UVXY). Otherwise it sits in short‑term T‑bills (BIL).
NutHow it works
Each day it checks how “overheated” consumer‑staples stocks (XLP) look over ~10 days using a 0–100 speedometer (RSI). If that reading is very high (>77), it shifts 50% into SH (goes up when the S&P 500 falls) and 50% into UVXY (jumps when market fear spikes). Otherwise it stays in BIL (very short‑term T‑bills). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
An out-of-sample crash hedge with superior risk control: Sharpe ~20 vs ~0.87, max drawdown ~1.1% vs ~18.8%, Calmar ~378. Raw return ~4.1% vs ~16.9% for the S&P, but far better capital preservation and resilience in turbulence.

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.
