About

A fast, rules-based strategy that buys deep tech dips, fades sharp one‑day rips, and switches between aggressive tech bets and a defensive SCHD+vol/short mix using fear (VIX) and bonds‑vs‑tech strength as guides. High risk; uses leveraged/inverse ETFs.
NutHow it works
It’s a rules-based rotation that watches: - RSI (0–100 heat gauge; <30 = washed out, >80 = hot) - How jumpy prices are (volatility) - Whether bonds are stronger than big tech Moves: - After big tech drops, buy the dip; if a 1‑day rebound >5.5%, fade it with shorts. - If fear/vol spikes, do the same. - Otherwise go risk‑on (long tech) or defensive (SCHD + hedges) based on bonds vs tech. ETFs: TQQQ/TECL=3x long tech; SQQQ/TECS=3x short; SVXY/UVXY/VIXM=fear; SCHD=dividends.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers strong risk-adjusted returns: Sharpe ~1.26, Calmar ~1.48, max drawdown ~11.6% vs SPY ~18.8%, and beta ~0.31. It exploits tech upside with downside protection, outperforming on risk-adjusted terms.

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.
