About

Times the market off SPY’s RSI: oversold → 3× S&P (UPRO); overbought → long volatility (UVXY); otherwise → defensive (XLP or VBF). Aims to catch rebounds and pullbacks with daily switches. High risk due to leverage and UVXY’s decay.
NutHow it works
It watches SPY’s 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 heat gauge of recent moves: low=washed‑out, high=overheated). If RSI < 28: buy UPRO (3× S&P 500) to bet on a rebound. If RSI > 80: buy UVXY (a volatility “fear” fund that spikes when markets drop). Otherwise: put ~98% in the weaker of XLP (consumer‑staples stocks) or VBF (investment‑grade bonds). Rebalances daily; high risk from leverage/UVXY.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversifier with near-zero SPY beta designed to hedge a core portfolio. Though OOS returns lag SPY, its low correlation and regime-driven moves to defensives/volatility can help reduce risk and offer upside in choppy markets.

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.
