About

A rules-based strategy aiming for big upside with SOXL, while sidestepping deep slides using a bond‑vs‑cash “canary,” short‑term hot/cold signals, and a momentum rotation into safe‑haven assets.
NutHow it works
It first checks a canary: are broad bonds beating cash over ~2 months? If not, markets look fragile. In calm times it mostly rides a 3x chip‑stock fund (SOXL), with checks on trend and risk appetite (timber vs gold). In fragile times it uses a hot/cold meter (RSI, 0–100; >75=too hot, <30=too cold) on the S&P 500: if too hot, hold a volatility fund (UVXY); if too cold, buy SOXL; otherwise rotate into recent winners among the dollar, Treasuries, gold, commodities, utilities, and oil.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~46% vs SPY ~22%; max drawdown ~51% vs ~19%. A regime-tested, canary-driven strategy using RSI timing and safe-haven rotations to chase big upside in semiconductors while aiming to limit losses.

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.
