About

An aggressive daily strategy that rides big tech/semiconductor/biotech upswings with 3× ETFs and quickly flips to hedges (volatility, inverse ETFs, Treasuries, dollar, commodities) when markets look overheated or weak, using simple price‑based signals.
NutHow it works
Every day it checks if stocks look hot or cold and what bonds/commodities are doing. If stocks look stretched up, it hedges with volatility or inverse funds. If they look washed out and bonds agree, it buys 3x tech/semis/biotech. It also switches between long/short Treasuries based on rates. It holds the top pick until tomorrow.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample 47.5%/yr vs SPY 21.7%, fueled by tech leadership with dynamic hedging. Calmar ~1.08; Sharpe ~1.0. Higher upside and better risk-adjusted capture, but larger drawdowns (~44%) in downturns.

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.
