About

Aggressive, semiconductor‑focused tactic: buy SOXL on dips, flip to SOXS or volatility (UVXY) when rallies look overheated, sometimes use TQQQ/TECL. Guided by trend and “overheated/oversold” gauges plus bond/commodity checks. Extremely high risk.
NutHow it works
Goal: ride big semiconductor uptrends, buy sharp dips, and step aside or short when rallies look overheated. It uses simple ideas: an overheated/oversold meter (RSI), trend lines (moving averages), and recent X‑day moves. It mostly trades SOXL (3x semis) or SOXS (3x inverse), sometimes TQQQ/TECL, and hedges with UVXY (volatility) or SHY/BIL (T‑Bills). Bond/commodity checks decide when to go defensive. Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Capitalize on semiconductor growth with a tactical, levered ETF mix. Out-of-sample annualized return ~23.6% versus SPY ~23.1%, but with much larger drawdowns and volatility - ideal for risk-tolerant, long-term investors seeking outsized upside.

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.
