About

Keeps most money in cash‑like Treasuries, and actively swings a smaller sleeve: go hard into leveraged tech/semis when trends are strong, hide in bonds/staples when weak, and switch to inverse tech/volatility products when the Nasdaq breaks. High risk, daily‑tuned.
NutHow it works
About 70% sits in short‑term Treasuries (SHV). The other ~30% switches daily. If the market’s long‑term trend looks up, it buys an aggressive mix of tech/semis and a “calm markets” fund (SOXL, TQQQ, TECL, SVXY). If momentum weakens, it hides in Treasuries (IEI) or staples (XLP) unless the Nasdaq looks washed‑out (then it buys the dip). If the Nasdaq breaks lower, it flips to inverse tech/semis (SQQQ/TECS/SOXS; sometimes UVXY), picking what’s been strongest lately. Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
High-upside, risk-managed strategy: mostly cash-like Treasuries, with a dynamic tech/semis sleeve and hedges when risk rises. Out-of-sample returns ~85% vs S&P ~23%, Calmar ~1.9, but larger drawdowns (~45%).

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.
