About

An extremely complex, overfit market‑timer. It flips among leveraged tech/semis, volatility (UVXY), or cash/treasuries based on trend, RSI (overheated/washed‑out), and short‑term spikes. Occasionally rotates to energy/financials and uses managed futures.
NutHow it works
This is a huge rule‑tree that tries to time the market. It watches trend (price vs 200‑day average) and “heat” (RSI—how fast prices rose/fell: high=overheated, low=washed‑out). When trend is up it buys leveraged tech/semis (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL=3x funds) or sometimes energy/financials. When things look stretched it buys UVXY (a volatility bet). When weak, it hides in cash (BIL=T‑Bills) and Treasuries (IEF/TLT), or shorts semis (SOXS). It sometimes uses DBMF (managed futures).
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified tactical overlay to complement SPY: levered growth, volatility hedges, and cash/bonds. Aims for regime-shift gains and lower correlation in spikes. OOS returns lag SPY; use as a tactical sleeve, not core.

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.
