About

A daily, very aggressive system that rides big tech/semiconductor moves with 3× ETFs when signals are favorable, hides in T‑Bills when uncertain, and hedges or goes short (or buys volatility) when fear and weakness rise. Expect high risk and turnover.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a few “mood” gauges: trend (moving averages), short‑term stretch (RSI: a 0–100 gauge of how overbought/oversold prices are), and fear (UVXY/VIXY: funds tied to market volatility). If healthy, it buys 3× tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL). If shaky, it moves to T‑Bills (BIL/SGOV) or flips to 3× inverse funds (SQQQ, SOXS). In panics/overheated spikes it briefly buys UVXY. It splits money across mini‑bots using these rules.
CheckmarkValue prop
Big upside: ~39% annualized out-of-sample vs ~21% for the S&P. Strong risk-adjusted profile (Calmar ~1.54). Expect higher drawdowns (~25%), but built-in hedges and cash buffers aim to protect while chasing tech/semis gains.

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.
