About

Aggressive, tactical swing strategy. Buys leveraged tech/semiconductor ETFs on dips, flips to inverse or volatility hedges on rips, and uses bond trends to set risk‑on/off. Very high risk; designed for fast moves, not buy‑and‑hold.
NutHow it works
It’s a short‑term, rules‑based “buy the dip, sell the rip” plan. - When tech/semis look washed out (using a simple “hot vs cold” gauge called RSI), it buys fast movers like SOXL/TECL/TQQQ. - When markets look overheated—or after a big up day—it flips to hedges like SOXS/TECS/SQQQ or UVXY (a volatility fund). - It checks the bond market to decide if rates are rising or falling, then tilts to TMV (if rates up) or TMF (if rates down). - In rough regimes it parks in cash‑like T‑bill funds or rotates to gold, energy, or the US dollar. - Usually one ETF at a time; it updates when signals change.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return: 32.21% vs S&P 500 21.94%. Targets big upside via levered tech bets with regime-aware hedges; higher risk (66.71% max drawdown) but potential for meaningful alpha when regimes align.

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.
