About

A daily, rules‑based plan that mostly owns VGT (U.S. tech) when conditions are favorable, and flips to crash‑hedges (VIXY + EUM/BTAL), short tech (PSQ), or T‑bills (BIL) when markets look overheated or weak, using simple “hot/cold” signals.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks whether markets look “hot” or “cold.” It uses RSI—a short‑term hot/cold score—to scan big, broad funds (S&P 500, large caps, semis, etc.). If they’re very hot, it moves to crash‑hedges: mainly VIXY plus two diversifiers (EUM, BTAL), sized by recent choppiness. If they’re not hot—and especially if they’re cold/oversold or the trend looks healthy—it buys VGT (U.S. tech). If risk rises but not enough to hedge, it may short tech (PSQ) or sit in T‑bills (BIL). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe about 2.20, Calmar about 6, near-zero beta—outperforming the S&P on risk-adjusted terms. A tech tilt with VGT drives upside, while crash hedges (VIXY/EUM/BTAL) aim to protect capital in stressed markets.

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.
