About

A daily rule-driven strategy that rotates between leveraged tech, hedges, bonds, energy, and cash. It rides uptrends hard, buys sharp dips, and de-risks when markets overheat or break trend. Uses RSI and moving averages to switch among QQQ/tech, Treasuries, volatility, and energy.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily, rules-based switcher. When stocks trend up, it owns tech/semis (often the 3x versions). If prices get “too hot” (RSI high), it hedges or moves to cash-like Treasuries. If markets dip hard (RSI low), it buys the dip. If trends break, it flips to inverse tech, bonds, or cash. Separate sleeves time long/short bonds and oil/gas. RSI here means how “hot” or “cold” something has been recently.
CheckmarkValue prop
Adaptive, rule-based strategy that rides tech uptrends with leverage, hedges risk in heat, and diversifies across bonds, volatility, and energy; seeking higher upside with downside protection vs the S&P 500. (OOS data not provided).

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.
