About

Daily, high‑octane plan: mostly ride semiconductor/tech uptrends, buy sharp dips when bonds agree, and hedge with volatility or Treasury‑rate trades when markets overheat or break. Uses leveraged ETFs; expect large swings.
NutHow it works
Three sleeves, rebalanced daily: • 70% core: rides semiconductors/tech (SOXL, TQQQ). If stocks look overheated (RSI = quick hot/cold meter; high=overheated), it buys volatility (UVXY/VIXY). If washed out (low RSI), it buys SOXL/TECL unless bonds flash risk‑off; then it flips to bears (SOXS/SQQQ) or rate trades (TMF=3x long bonds, TMV=3x short). • 20%: VIX trading (long when stocks are hot; sometimes short via SVIX). • 10%: TQQQ with spike/drop hedges.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~35% annualized return vs SPY ~22%, with beta ~0.5 and Calmar ~1.05. Strategy aims for far higher upside in tech rallies while hedging with volatility and rate trades, offering superior long‑term growth despite larger 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.
