About

A daily, rules-driven “risk thermostat” that goes hard into leveraged tech/semis when trends are healthy and steps back to T-bills, short funds, or volatility when markets look shaky or overheated. Uses trend, “hot/cold” gauges, and bond/rate signals to switch.
NutHow it works
Think of a pilot watching many dials. Each day it checks: - Trend: Is the market above its long-term average? If yes, it’s open to offense. - Heat/Speed: Are prices “too hot” or “too cold” lately? It buys dips or avoids rips. - Volatility: If fear is spiking, it hides in T‑bills or volatility hedges. - Rates/Inflation: If falling rates help growth stocks, it leans into tech/semis; if not, it defends. When conditions look good, it holds fast, high‑octane funds tied to the NASDAQ/tech and semiconductors. When they don’t, it flips to cash‑like T‑bills, short funds, or volatility. It rechecks and can adjust every day.

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.
