About

A daily, rules‑based “ride uptrends, hedge fast” strategy. It buys strong tech/semis in calm uptrends and quickly shifts to inverse ETFs, volatility hedges, or T‑Bills when signals show markets are overheated or slipping; bonds/commodities guide risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks two simple gauges: a heat score of recent up/down days (RSI) and trend lines (moving averages). If the market is calm and rising, it rides fast tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL). If it looks overheated or falling, it flips to hedges (SQQQ/SOXS/TECS), volatility (VXX/UVXY), or T‑Bills (BIL). It also uses bond (TLT/TMF/TMV) and commodity (DBC) trends to tilt risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher growth (roughly 20.3% vs SPY's 18.2%) with dynamic hedges, tech/semis trend exposure, and bond/vol hedges to cushion risk. Strong upside potential, but expect larger drawdowns than SPY.

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.
