About

A high-octane, daily strategy centered on semiconductors: ride uptrends with 3x bull (SOXL), flip to 3x bear (SOXS) or hedges when chips get too hot or fall. Uses simple trend/RSI, bond, and volatility cues to toggle offense/defense.
NutHow it works
Daily, it tries to ride chip stocks hard and hedge fast. It mainly buys SOXL (a 3x fund on semiconductor makers) when chips trend up, and flips to SOXS (3x inverse) or hedges when chips look overheated or plunge. It watches trends vs averages, a “heat” gauge (RSI), bond trends (TLT/TMF/TMV), and volatility (UVXY) to switch between offense and defense.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~41.6% annualized return vs SPY ~22.8%, Calmar ~1.05, Sharpe ~0.84. Proactive semis risk controls; max drawdown ~39.7% vs SPY ~18.8%. Best for risk-tolerant, tech-focused investors.

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.
