About

A semiconductor‑focused, daily‑tactical strategy that rides chip rallies with 3x bulls (SOXL), flips to 3x bears (SOXS) or buys volatility (UVXY) when markets look overheated, and uses bond/cash hedges when risk rises. High risk, high reward.
NutHow it works
Most of the time it rides chip stocks higher (via SOXL). If chips or the market look overheated, it either hedges with “volatility” (UVXY/VIXY) or flips short (SOXS). If things look washed‑out, it buys the dip. Big picture trends in stocks and bonds decide whether to stay aggressive, move to cash‑like Treasuries, or use bond trades (TMF/TMV). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return ~48%/yr vs ~23% S&P; Calmar ~1.21 and alpha ~0.29% show solid risk-adjusted upside. Higher drawdowns (~40%) are the trade-off for a semis-led, hedged, tactical engine with a growth edge over the S&P.

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.
