About

A daily, risk‑first “tripwire” that mostly sits in cash‑like T‑bills, steps aside when fear rises or stocks get too hot, takes brief rebound shots in levered tech/semis when deeply oversold, and sometimes hedges with gold/silver/commodities.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily “tripwire” system. It watches a simple price‑speed gauge (RSI: high = too hot, low = washed out) and a fear gauge (volatility ETFs like UVXY/VIXY). • If markets look too hot or fear is rising, it parks in cash‑like T‑bills (BIL/SHV) or a defensive tilt (BTAL). • If things look washed out, it may take brief rebound shots in high‑octane tech/semis (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). • If tech is strong but not crazy, it can prefer gold/silver/commodities (GLD/SLV/PDBC).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this cash-first tripwire targets a sizable upside edge: ~65.6% annualized vs ~27% for the S&P 500, achieved with hedges and selective levered rebounds to manage risk and limit losses.

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.
