About

Daily, tech‑heavy tactical strategy. Rides semiconductor/Nasdaq strength with leveraged ETFs, fades overbought moves, buys dips carefully, checks bonds for confirmation, and uses volatility funds or Treasuries during stress. Very aggressive; expect big swings.
NutHow it works
Rebalances daily. It rides chip‑stock uptrends with leveraged funds (semis often lead big tech) but quickly hedges or flips short when prices look stretched or after sharp pops. It uses RSI (a simple “hot vs cold” gauge), short‑term burst rules, and bond ETF signals to go risk‑on/off. A Black Swan switch buys VIX funds when volatility heats up. Key funds: SOXL/SOXS (3x long/short semis), TQQQ/SQQQ (3x long/short Nasdaq), UVXY/VIXY/VIXM (volatility), SPY (S&P 500), XLE (energy), DBC (commodities), SHV/SHY/BIL (T‑bills), IEI/TLH/EDV (Treasuries), UGL (gold), UUP (US dollar).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~18% annualized return with ~35% max drawdown and ~0.56 Sharpe. A tech/semis-driven strategy using bond/volatility hedges and rapid rotations to capture Nasdaq leadership while diversifying SPY risk.

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.
