About

A tactical ARK rotation: ride 2x ARKK on upswings, switch to SARK or hedges when signals turn. Uses quick heat/oversold gauges and Treasury trend clues. High turnover; uses leveraged and inverse ETFs.
NutHow it works
A fast, ARK-focused swing system. When ARK-style growth is rising but not overheated, it rides a 2x ARKK fund (TARK). When momentum fades or gets too hot, it flips to the ARKK inverse (SARK) or to hedges in Treasuries, the US dollar, gold, or volatility. Quick checks on recent gains, pullbacks, choppiness, and bond trends act like a daily voting booth that picks long vs short and the hedge.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic ARK-rotation targets higher upside in growth. OOS return ~29.4% vs SPY ~21.5%, via 2x ARKK and hedges. Drawdown ~68% vs ~19% for SPY—higher risk, but potential for stronger alpha with risk discipline.

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.
