About

Daily, rules-based rotation among leveraged stock ETFs, VIX hedges, or defensive bond/sector ETFs. Rides uptrends, hedges when too hot, and shifts defensive when weak. Very high risk due to 2x/3x leverage and VIX products.
NutHow it works
Every day it uses TQQQ (a 3x Nasdaq‑100 ETF) as a thermometer. Trend check: is its 10‑day average above its 20‑day average? If yes: if its RSI (a 0–100 heat gauge; >80 very hot, <30 very cold) is >80, buy a VIX fund as a hedge; else buy the strongest leveraged index ETF. If no: if very oversold, try a bounce in tech/biotech/semis; otherwise rotate to defensive bonds/staples/utilities/healthcare. Usually 80% invested in uptrends; 100% otherwise.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rule-based rotation uses leveraged momentum, VIX hedges, and defensive shifts to ride rallies and protect in downturns. Out-of-sample tests show stronger risk-adjusted returns and smaller drawdowns vs the S&P 500.

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.
