About

A daily, rule‑driven strategy that rides tech/semiconductor uptrends but quickly shifts to crash hedges (VIX, inverse ETFs, Treasuries/T‑bills) when stress hits. KMLM’s trend acts as a safety check—especially against semiconductors. High risk, actively managed.
NutHow it works
Every day the system asks: is the market hot, cold, or crashing? It: - Rides uptrends with fast‑moving tech/semis (often 3x ETFs). - If things look overheated or panic‑like, it flips to hedges (VIX funds, inverse stock ETFs, Treasuries, or T‑bills). - KMLM (a trend‑following futures ETF) is used as a cross‑check for the semiconductor sleeve: if KMLM’s trend looks better than chips, it dials down chip risk. - “RSI” is a quick 0–100 ‘hot/cold’ score; >~80 is stretched up, <~30 is washed out. - Position sizes scale down when volatility rises to keep risk more balanced.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
