About

Aggressive, tech‑heavy, tactical strategy. Primarily holds a concentrated growth basket, adds 20% VIX exposure when markets look too hot, tries to catch rebounds after fast drops, and can flip to inverse ETFs or cash when trends sour.
NutHow it works
Core: ~80% sits in a concentrated mega‑cap tech mix (NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, META, TSM, ASML, GOOGL, NFLX + QQQ). It watches RSI (a 0–100 heat meter). If many indexes look overheated (RSI very high), it keeps the core and adds ~20% UVXY—an ETF tied to the VIX that can jump when fear spikes. After a sharp drop, it splits with a short‑term “bounce catcher” using leveraged tech. Trend checks (price vs 200‑day average) decide whether to stay long, add a small semis tilt, switch to inverse 3x ETFs, or sit in T‑Bills. It also compares Tech (XLK) vs KMLM (a broad trend ETF) to judge risk‑on/off.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this aggressive tech-heavy strategy delivers ~59% annualized return vs SPY’s ~18%, with a higher Sharpe (~1.48 vs ~1.02) and Calmar ~3.0, while drawdowns stay near SPY levels (~19.7% vs 18.8%).

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.
