About

Ultra‑aggressive, daily rotation that tries to surf tech/semiconductor upswings and hedge sharp drops. It uses simple trend/“heat” checks plus bond/commodity cues to switch among 3x long ETFs, inverse hedges, and volatility spikes (UVXY).
NutHow it works
It rotates daily into one fund using simple checks: - Trend lines (moving averages) say uptrend or downtrend. - A “heat” score (RSI) flags too hot or too cold. If trends are healthy: ride 3x tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL). After big run-ups: buy volatility (UVXY). If risk rises: use hedges (SOXS, SQQQ) or rate trades (TMF/TMV). It also confirms with bonds/commodities.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets tech/semis with macro filters and hedges, delivering ~50% annualized return vs S&P ~23% (much bigger upside). It uses regime signals to defend during downturns, but expect larger drawdowns.

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.
