About

A daily, high‑octane swing strategy for tech/semis. It opens risk only when volatility calms (SVIX) and trends look firm (KMLM), then buys dips and sells rips using short‑term signals, with bond and credit checks. Uses 3x ETFs/VIX products; very high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks safety gates: is volatility calming (SVIX strong) and are cross‑asset trends firm (KMLM > tech)? If not, it parks in T‑bills (BIL). If yes, it uses bond and semiconductor signals to go long or short high‑beta tech/semis, buys dips, sells rips, and toggles a bond sleeve. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~46% annualized return vs SPY's ~16%, higher Sharpe (~1.10 vs ~0.92), and smaller drawdown (~17.8% vs ~18.8%). Daily rebalancing with risk gates aims for bigger upside with controlled risk vs the S&P 500.

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.
