About

A daily, rule‑driven “crash‑catcher” that toggles between volatility hedges, cash, and high‑octane tech/semiconductor funds. It uses trend, a 0–100 “hot/cold” gauge (RSI), and bond/dollar/commodity cues to buy pullbacks, sell euphoria, and defend crashes.
NutHow it works
Daily, it checks three things: 1) the big trend (stocks and bonds), 2) whether prices look stretched (a 0–100 “speedometer” called RSI: above ~70 is hot, below ~30 is cold), and 3) where fear and money are flowing (bonds, dollar, commodities). It then puts most or all capital in one ETF that fits that setup. - Hot market? It often buys volatility (UVXY) to bet on a pullback. - Washed‑out market with bond support? It buys the strongest tech/semis funds (e.g., TQQQ, SOXL). - True panic? It shifts to volatility or cash (BIL).
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
