About

A daily, rules-based switcher: buys 3x stock ETFs in uptrends, flips to VIX hedges when markets look overheated, uses bond trends for defense, and can short or sit in cash. Driven by quick momentum (RSI), trend, and risk filters.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks a mode. If stocks look overheated (RSI, a 0–100 “heat” score, is high), it hedges with volatility (UVXY = VIX spike) plus a defensive long/short fund (BTAL) or T‑bills (BIL). If markets look washed‑out, it buys 3x stock funds—often tech (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL), also S&P (SPXL/UPRO) or healthcare (CURE). Between those, it follows bond trends (TMF = 3x long Treas., TMV = 3x inverse) and may short volatility (SVXY). It can short (PSQ/SH) or hold cash.

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.
