About

A daily market‑timer: buys leveraged Nasdaq/tech in uptrends and flips to volatility, inverse funds, or short‑term bonds when moves get overheated or trends turn down. Very high risk due to 2x–3x ETFs and volatility bets.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: is the S&P 500 in an uptrend (price above its 200‑day average)? - Uptrend: buy Nasdaq/tech using 2x–3x funds (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL), esp. after quick drops. If a short-term heat gauge (RSI) says prices are too hot, switch to volatility (UVXY) or inverse funds (SQQQ). - Downtrend: favor inverse funds (SQQQ, SOXS) or short-term bonds (BSV/SHY). Uses 20‑day trends and big-move triggers to swap fast.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher upside vs the S&P 500: ~32.4% annualized vs ~21.4%, with a Calmar near 0.96. It leverages Nasdaq/tech rallies and hedges spikes via volatility/inverse ETFs for strong growth with measured risk.

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.
