About

Daily tactical strategy around tech and semiconductor ETFs. It rides uptrends, buys deep dips, and uses inverse or “fear” funds or short‑term bonds to defend in downtrends. Uses RSI as a heat meter. Very high risk due to 3x ETFs.
NutHow it works
Key tools: RSI = a “heat meter” of recent buying vs selling (low=washed out, high=hot). TQQQ/SOXL = 3x tech/semis; SQQQ/SOXS = 3x inverse; UVXY = a “fear” ETF; SHY/BSV = short‑term bonds. Rules: 1) If the S&P 500 is in an uptrend: ride tech/semis, buy deep dips, or hedge when things are too hot/fear spikes. 2) If in a downtrend: mostly hedge or hold bonds; sometimes take brief bounce trades. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-based tech/semis strategy with built-in hedges, delivering superior out-of-sample risk-adjusted and returns vs S&P 500: Sharpe 1.58 vs 1.10; Calmar 3.64; annualized return ~134% vs ~19%. Higher drawdowns, but risk controls aim to capture upside.

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.
