About

Daily trend switcher: leans into tech in uptrends, buys dips when washed out, parks in cash/defensive funds when overheated, and shorts the Nasdaq in downtrends. Uses a 200‑day trend check and simple “too hot/too cold” signals to adapt.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: Is the S&P 500 in an uptrend (price above its 200‑day average)? - Uptrend: Ride tech/semis when momentum is healthy; take profits to cash (T‑bills) and a defensive fund (BTAL) when things look overheated (RSI≈a “too hot” meter). Buy dips (RSI≈“too cold”) with TQQQ/TECL/SOXL. Keep a 30% dividend sleeve (SCHD). - Downtrend: Short the Nasdaq (SQQQ) or use hedges (SH/VIX funds), guided by bond/volatility checks. It also compares Tech (XLK) vs KMLM (a managed‑futures trend fund) to decide aggressive tech vs a safer mix.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.33 vs 1.02, Calmar 2.48, and annualized return ~89% vs ~18% for SPY. Dynamic tech tilt and hedging aim for big upside with disciplined risk controls. Note: drawdowns can be larger in crashes.

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.
