About

A daily, rules‑based swing trader that rotates among leveraged tech/semis/biotech, inverse funds, and VIX products using simple overbought/oversold and bond/commodity trend checks. It buys dips, shorts rips, and hedges panics. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Daily, it first picks the one playbook that’s been the most “jumpy” over ~3 weeks (highest 20‑day volatility). Signals use RSI (a 0–100 heat gauge; >70 hot, <30 cold). It then: buy UVXY/VIXY (VIX) if SPY looks hot; buy beaten‑down TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO (3x Nasdaq/Tech/Semis/S&P) if bonds look OK; flip to SQQQ/SPXS/SOXS (3x shorts) if momentum breaks; use TMV or TMF (3x short/long 20‑yr Treas.) when rates rise/fall. Trades daily; very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 25.4% annualized return and positive alpha vs the S&P 500's 21.2%, via volatility/momentum rotations in leveraged assets. Higher upside with larger drawdowns—best for risk-tolerant investors seeking opportunistic diversification.

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.
