About

A daily, all‑in rotation among leveraged tech, bond, inverse, and commodity ETFs. Buys 3x growth in bull markets, flips to shorts/bonds/commodities in bear or high‑inflation regimes, and hedges briefly with UVXY when things look overheated. Extremely high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: Are stocks trending up or down? Are interest rates rising or falling? Are commodities outpacing stocks? If bullish: it picks one fast horse (3x tech/S&P like TQQQ, SOXL, TECL, UPRO). If bearish or inflation is biting: it rotates to inverse ETFs (SQQQ, SOXS, SPXS), bond trades (TMF/TMV), or oil/commodities (UCO/DBC). It uses RSI (a speed/overbought‑oversold gauge) and short‑term momentum, and briefly adds UVXY after big “too‑hot” pops. Usually 100% in one ETF. Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 36% annualized return vs 22% for the S&P, by riding big trends with leveraged ETFs and adaptive regimes. Higher upside, but much larger drawdowns (~50%) and higher volatility—suited for risk-tolerant investors.

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.
