About

A daily, high‑octane, semiconductor‑centric strategy that flips between 3x tech/semis, volatility spikes (UVXY), and rate trades (TMF/TMV) using simple hot/cold gauges and macro filters. Built from an 80% core + 10% VIX sleeve + 10% TQQQ sleeve.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks a short‑term “temperature” gauge (RSI) on stocks, plus bond and commodity trends. - If stocks look overheated, it briefly buys volatility funds (UVXY/VIXY) to play for a pullback. - If they look washed‑out and bonds look friendly, it buys 3x tech/semis (SOXL/TECL/TQQQ). If not, it uses 3x inverse (SOXS/SQQQ). Most other days it rides 3x semis. Two small sleeves add VIX spikes and a TQQQ trend ride.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample shows ~55% annualized return vs SPY ~22%, Calmar ~1.40, delivering strong upside with disciplined risk. It targets semis/tech and volatility/rate plays to capture big upswings the S&P misses, despite higher 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.
