About

Aggressive, rule‑based market timer that flips between leveraged tech/semis and volatility or bond defenses using simple “too hot/too cold” signals plus bond/volatility checks.
NutHow it works
Think of a traffic light for markets. It keeps checking: 1) Is the market “too hot” (prices sprinted up)? Then it hedges or bets on fear (UVXY) and/or bearish funds. 2) Is it “too cold” (just sold off hard)? Then it buys fast‑moving tech/semis (3x funds like TECL/SOXL). 3) Do bonds look stronger than stocks, or is fear rising? It shifts to Treasuries, T‑bills, gold, or the US dollar. 4) If trends are healthy, it stays with the winners; if not, it steps aside.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.60 vs SPY 1.41; annualized return ~71% vs ~22%; Calmar 2.26 signals strong risk-adjusted upside despite runups. Tactical, dynamic exposure to tech/semis and hedges aims for bigger gains with disciplined risk.

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.
