About

A fast, rules‑based ETF trader using short‑term “hot vs cold” signals from stocks, bonds, and the dollar. It mainly swings into semiconductors (3x up/down), cash, gold, and small sector tilts. Very aggressive and high risk.
NutHow it works
It splits money across a core engine and two quick triggers. It uses simple “heat gauges”: RSI (a ~2‑week score of how hot/cold price is), moving averages (trend), volatility, and bond‑vs‑cash strength. It then flips among semiconductors (SOXL 3x up or SOXS 3x down), cash‑like T‑Bills, gold, the U.S. dollar, broad commodities, and small sector tilts. Overheated semis → short; bonds stronger than risky stocks → sometimes buy semis for a bounce.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 42.7% annualized return, Calmar 1.76, and Sharpe ~1.19 with positive alpha, vs SPY. Higher drawdowns, but dynamic semis/tactical sleeves aim for superior upside in rallies.

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.
