About

A fast-moving, rules-based trader that flips between 3× chip, S&P, and Nasdaq funds—or their short versions—and sometimes volatility funds, using simple “heat” gauges (RSI) and short moving averages to ride strength and fade overbought markets.
NutHow it works
It uses two simple gauges: RSI (a 0–100 “heat” gauge of recent price moves; high = stretched up, low = stretched down) and short moving averages. Main funds: SOXX=chip stocks; SOXL/SOXS=3× up/down chips; SPY=S&P 500; UPRO/SPXU=3× up/down S&P; TQQQ/SQQQ=3× up/down Nasdaq; UVXY/VIXY=volatility; BIL=T‑bills. Steps: If chips (SOXX) are stronger than cash (BIL), ride chips (SOXL) unless the S&P looks overheated—then buy volatility (UVXY/VIXY). If chips aren’t strong, short them if overbought (SOXS), buy if washed‑out (SOXL), or fall back to S&P/Nasdaq signals to pick 3× bull or bear (UPRO/SPXU or TQQQ/SQQQ).
CheckmarkValue prop
Aggressive, rules-based strategy focused on semiconductors and volatility; out-of-sample annualized return ~42.7% vs ~21.4% for the S&P, but with much larger drawdowns (~63% vs ~19%). High upside, higher risk—fit for risk-tolerant investors.

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.
