About

An aggressive, rules‑driven swing strategy. It rides tech/semiconductor rallies, hedges or shorts when markets get “too hot,” and uses bond trends to pick risk‑on vs risk‑off. Heavy use of leveraged ETFs and VIX hedges; very active and high risk.
NutHow it works
- First, it decides the backdrop using bonds and commodities. If long‑term bonds look strong, it leans risk‑on or into TMF; if bonds are weak (rising rates), it uses TMV and/or shorts. - Next, it checks if stocks look hot or cold using a “heat gauge” (RSI). High = overheated; low = washed‑out. - If overheated, it hedges or shorts (UVXY/SQQQ/SOXS). If washed‑out, it buys tech/semis (TECL/TQQQ/SOXL). - Big one‑day pops in tech trigger brief UVXY hedges. - If fear stays high, it parks in T‑bills (BIL/SHV) until conditions improve.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for tech-led upside with risk controls: ~88% annualized return vs S&P ~24%, Sharpe ~1.13, Calmar ~1.34. Expect bigger drawdowns (~66%), but hedges seek favorable risk-on/off timing and higher risk-adjusted upside.

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.
