About

An aggressive, tech‑led swing strategy. It rides uptrends with 3× tech/S&P funds, buys sharp dips, and hedges sudden spikes by switching to VXX. When risk is high, it moves to T‑bills or Treasuries. K‑1 tax forms avoided.
NutHow it works
It shifts 100% into one fund at a time based on simple signals: RSI (a 0–100 “hot/cold” speedometer), quick price spikes/drops, trend, and volatility (VIX). If markets get overheated, it hedges with VXX. After sharp drops or oversold, it buys the dip (mainly TECL=3× tech, sometimes SOXL). In calm uptrends, it rides TECL/SPXL. If risk rises, it parks in BIL (T‑bills) or uses TMF/TMV (Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return ~51%/yr vs SPY ~21%, with better risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe ~1.05, Calmar ~1.10) and beta ~0.60. Expect larger drawdowns (~46% vs ~19%), but hedges and dip-buys aim to protect and profit from tech rallies.

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.
