About

An aggressive, rule-driven ETF strategy centered on semiconductors. It rides uptrends with SOXL, flips to SOXS when overheated, and can park in gold, commodities, or cash. Uses bond‑vs‑stock signals; small sector tilts at times.
NutHow it works
This fast, rules-based ETF mix leans hard into semiconductors and flips quickly. RSI = a short‑term “heat meter” of price (high=overbought, low=oversold). Core idea: ride semis up with SOXL or hedge with SOXS; use bonds vs stocks as a safety check; when stocks look too hot, shift to gold, cash, or commodities. Tickers: SOXL/SOXS (3x semis bull/bear), UGL (2x gold), DBC (commodities), BIL (T‑bills), SH/PSQ (short S&P/Nasdaq).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample dynamo: ~43.36% annualized return vs 27.90% S&P, Sharpe ~1.14, Calmar ~1.73. Accepts higher drawdowns (~25% vs ~19%), but delivers superior risk-adjusted growth with strict semis focus and hedges (gold, commodities, cash).

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.
