About

Aggressive, daily-switching ETF strategy. Default: long semiconductors (SOXL) in uptrends. If markets look overheated, it hedges with UVXY. In weak markets it buys dips in SOXL or shifts to SQQQ (short Nasdaq) or BSV (short-term bonds). Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Daily, it first checks if the market is in an uptrend (TQQQ above its 200‑day avg). In uptrends it holds SOXL (3x semiconductors) unless many market/sector ETFs (tech, growth/value, staples, comms, discretionary, financials) look overbought via RSI—a 0–100 heat score; then it flips to UVXY (volatility). In downtrends, if RSI is very low it buys SOXL; if the short‑term trend is weak it picks SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq) or BSV (short‑term bonds), whichever is stronger.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy shows strong risk-adjusted returns (Calmar ~3.85; Sharpe ~1.45) with adaptive hedges. It targets upside in uptrends (SOXL) and uses UVXY/SQQQ/BSV to manage drawdowns, aiming for better risk-adjusted performance vs. the S&P 500.

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.
