About

A daily switch that flips about 25% of the portfolio between 3x long China (YINN) or 3x short China (YANG) using “oversold” and trend tests on China (FXI) plus bond‑vs‑stock strength checks. Extremely aggressive and highly volatile.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks one fund: YINN (a 3x bet on big Chinese stocks) or YANG (a 3x bet against them). If China (FXI = big‑China ETF) looks extremely beaten‑up, it buys YINN for a rebound. Otherwise it checks trends and whether bonds or stocks have been stronger (using IEI, IGIB, IWM, SPY, etc.) to choose YINN or YANG. It typically uses about a quarter of the portfolio for this sleeve and rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.75 vs SPY 1.01; Calmar 3.81; OOS annualized return ~218% with ~57% drawdown. A tactical, 3x China strategy offers alpha and diversification beyond the S&P—higher upside, but with increased volatility.

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.
