About

A daily, tactical ETF strategy that flips between cash, tech/semiconductors (via both 3x bull/bear funds), and bond positions using a volatility kill-switch, bonds-vs-tech trend, semiconductor heat readings, and an inflation trend filter.
NutHow it works
Daily checks decide between offense, defense, or cash. A “speedometer” (RSI, 0–100) gauges short-term heat/cold. If volatility surges → sit in cash (SHV). Bonds vs Nasdaq strength picks risk-off/on. Semiconductors (SMH) guide trades: very hot → bet against (SOXS); very cold → bet on (SOXL). An inflation trend (RINF vs 100‑day avg) chooses tech mixes (XLK/TECL) and when to short long bonds (TMV). Else: hedge with PSQ, TLT, SHV.
CheckmarkValue prop
Near-SPY upside with a disciplined volatility- and inflation-aware rotation across cash, tech/semis, and bonds. Out-of-sample returns ≈20%/yr, with tech exposure and built-in hedges for diversification vs the plain S&P 500.

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.
