About

Own Apple and Microsoft 50/50 by default. If market fear rises sharply, switch to SH (profits when the S&P 500 drops). If tech looks overheated, shift to BTAL (defensive). Signals checked daily; no use of 3x inverse ETFs like SPXU or SQQQ.
NutHow it works
Default: 50% Apple, 50% Microsoft. Each day: 1) If a volatility ETF (VIXM) has surged recently, hold SH (benefits when the S&P 500 falls). 2) Else if a hot tech ETF (TQQQ) looks overheated, hold BTAL (defensive, market‑neutral). Otherwise stay 50/50 AAPL/MSFT.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based AAPL/MSFT core with SH and BTAL hedges to navigate stress and tech froth. Out-of-sample: ~22.5% annualized return, ~1.05 Sharpe, Calmar ~0.84—built-in hedges, regime switching, transparent, and no 3x inverses.

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.
