About

A daily tactical strategy. When trends are healthy it rides one 3× tech/semi/US stock ETF; when risk spikes or trends break it flips to inverse, volatility, bonds, commodities or cash. Uses RSI extremes, the 200‑day trend, and short‑term momentum to decide.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks: 1) trend (is SPY above/below its 200‑day average?), 2) “hot/cold” scores (RSI) for stocks/volatility, 3) whether long Treasuries beat cash. In calm/uptrends it buys one fast, 3× bull fund (TQQQ, SOXL, TECL, UPRO). In drops or when overbought, it flips to hedges: their inverse (SQQQ, SOXS, SPXS), volatility (UVXY/VIXY), or bonds (TMF/TMV). It can also rotate to DBC/UCO/GLD, UUP, or BIL. High risk; 3× funds and UVXY swing fast.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return ~56.6% vs SPY ~23.5%; regime-switching that chases tech leaders and hedges risk. Higher upside but larger drawdowns—best for investors with high risk tolerance seeking premium growth.

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.
