About

A daily tactical switcher. If volatility spikes, it parks in cash-like T‑bills. Otherwise it weighs bond vs big‑tech momentum, then uses semiconductor “temperature” and an inflation trend check to rotate among leveraged tech/semis, short tech, bonds, or cash.
NutHow it works
Daily: - If volatility (VIXM) surges, hold SHV (T‑bill cash). - Else compare momentum via RSI (0–100 speedometer): bonds (BND) vs big tech (QQQ). • Bonds>Tech: If semis (SMH) RSI<65, use inflation trend (RINF>100‑day avg?) to pick SOXL+XLK or TECL+TMV. If semis hot: short (SOXS) if >75 else SHV. • Tech>Bonds: If semis>80 short (SOXS); if <25 buy (SOXL); else split PSQ+TLT+SHV. Uses some 3x ETFs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, volatility-aware strategy targeting near-S&P returns (~20%/yr) with inflation-driven rotations and cash hedges—diversified exposure designed to augment the S&P and protect during spikes via a volatility safety valve.

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.
