About

A daily, one-ETF-at-a-time, tactical strategy: buy 3x equity funds after sharp dips, switch to UVXY when markets look overheated, otherwise ride the uptrend with 2x Nasdaq (QLD) or sit in T‑bills if the market is weak.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks simple “hot/cold” readings of recent price moves (RSI) and a long-term trend line. - Very cold (big short-term drop) in semis/Nasdaq/S&P → buy 3x bull funds (SOXL, TQQQ, or UPRO). - Very hot across many market groups → buy UVXY, which tends to jump when stocks suddenly fall. - Otherwise: if the S&P 500 is in an uptrend → hold QLD (2x Nasdaq-100); if not → hold BIL (T‑bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~51% annualized return vs ~21% for the S&P, Calmar ~2.89, and Sharpe ~1.10. Dip-buying with UVXY hedge and trend fallback targets substantial upside with disciplined risk; expect drawdowns around ~18%.

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.
