About

A rules-based, tech-heavy tactical strategy. It rides strong uptrends with 3x ETFs (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL), and when markets look overheated or fearful it shifts to bonds/cash, VIX-linked funds, or even inverse ETFs (SQQQ/SOXS) to cut risk.
NutHow it works
- First it checks if major indexes/sectors look “too hot” using a 0–100 heat gauge (RSI). If hot, it splits between a fear‑gauge fund (VXX) and T‑Bills (BIL). - Otherwise it tries to own fast‑moving tech (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL) when the trend is up (SPY above its 200‑day average) and volatility is calming (SVXY rising). - If fear spikes (UVXY very high) or the trend breaks, it moves to short‑term bonds (BSV/SHY), VXX, or flips bearish (SQQQ/SOXS). - Extra rules dial back risk in choppy, sideways markets (uses UUP and TLT as clues).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based tech momentum strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted upside vs the S&P 500: Sharpe 1.50 vs 0.96, Calmar 2.29, with disciplined hedges and volatility timing for higher potential and controlled 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.
