About

A daily, rules‑based “popcorn” trader: when markets run too hot it sits in T‑bills; on sharp dips it briefly buys leveraged tech/semis. Adds KMLM/BTAL as crisis diversifiers. Very active and high risk, with heavy tech/semis exposure when risk‑on.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a “speedometer” of recent price moves (RSI). If that speed is very high (markets ran too fast) or volatility is jumpy, it parks in T‑bills (BIL/SHV) or defensive funds (BTAL/KMLM). If prices look washed out, it buys short bursts of high‑octane tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, UPRO). It rechecks and rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Potentially higher upside than the S&P 500: out-of-sample annualized return ~49% vs ~28% for SPY, with Calmar ~4 signaling strong risk-adjusted gains. Dynamic risk-on/risk-off rotations plus crisis diversifiers aim to protect capital during drawdowns.

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.
