About

An ultra‑aggressive, daily strategy that mostly rides and flips chip/tech ETFs (often 3x) using simple “hot/cold” readings and rate cues, hedging with volatility or inverse funds when markets look overheated or shaky. High risk, big swings.
NutHow it works
It’s a fast, daily‑traded plan that mostly rides chip/tech funds, then flips or hedges when signals say markets are “too hot” or “too cold.” - RSI = a 0–100 heat meter of recent price moves - If hot: hedge or buy volatility (UVXY/VIXY) - If cold and rates friendly: buy 3x bulls (SOXL/TQQQ/TECL) - If cold and rates unfriendly: use 3x bears (SQQQ/SOXS) - Small rate (TMF/TMV) and commodity/currency tilts - 80% core, plus 10% VIX sleeve and 10% TQQQ sleeve - Very high risk
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for far higher upside than the S&P: ~55% annualized return with Calmar ~1.40. Expect higher volatility and drawdowns (~39%), but with hedging and regime-driven leverage to exploit tech leadership.

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.
