About

A daily switching strategy that chases strong tech/semis uptrends with 3x ETFs, cools off when prices look overheated, buys deep dips, and in weak regimes rotates into hedges (inverse ETFs, long Treasuries, cash, volatility/KMLM). Very high risk.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily, rules‑based “bot.” 1) Labels the market up/down using the S&P 500 vs its 200‑day average. 2) In uptrends it rides high‑octane tech/semis funds (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, UPRO). If a hot/cold meter (RSI, a 0–100 speedometer) runs too hot (~>80), it shifts to hedges like UVXY (volatility) or cash (BIL). 3) On sharp drops it buys the most beaten‑down 3x funds. 4) In downtrends—or when tech lags KMLM (a managed‑futures diversifier)—it flips to protection: inverse funds (SQQQ, SOXS/TECS), long Treasuries (TLT/TMF), gold, BTAL/KMLM. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this daily regime-switching strategy targets tech leadership and yields ~176% annualized return vs ~66% for the S&P, with Calmar ~15 and built-in hedges to reduce drawdowns.

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.
