About

An ultra‑tactical, rules‑based swing strategy that rotates among 3× tech/semis, their inverse funds, and VIX products. It buys dips, sells overheated spikes, and uses bond/commodity signals to manage risk. Very high risk and turnover.
NutHow it works
It reads three things: trend, stress, and swings. - Trend: If stocks trend up and bonds/commodities are supportive, it rides 3× tech/semis (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL; 3× means daily moves are magnified). - Stress: If markets look overheated or a huge up‑day hits, it flips to VIX funds (UVXY) or inverse funds (SQQQ/SOXS). - Swings: If deeply sold off, buy the dip; if choppy, hold T‑Bills/bonds (BIL/SHV/TMF/TMV). Very active, short‑term.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside: ~71% annualized returns with solid risk metrics (Calmar ~1.08, Sharpe ~1.02) vs S&P. Dynamic hedges and regime switching aim to ride tech leadership while damping spikes. Note: larger drawdown risk.

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.
