About

An aggressive, rules-based trader that flips between crypto and high-growth tech longs/shorts, using quick “heat” gauges and a bond‑market vote. It often uses leveraged ETFs and VIX hedges, so it can move fast—and be very volatile.
NutHow it works
It’s a fast-switching, two-part system. It trades: - Crypto mood via BITO (Bitcoin ETF): if hot/weak it flips to BITI (short BTC) or MSTR (Bitcoin‑tied stock). If unclear, it trades tech (TQQQ=3x Nasdaq) or goes defensive (SQQQ/SPXU=3x shorts, BSV=bonds). - Growth/semis/vol: TARK/SARK (2x long vs short ARK), SOXL/SOXS (3x semis), UVXY/UVIX (VIX). Decisions use simple “speed” gauges: RSI (a price speedometer: high=hot, low=cold), moving averages, quick returns, and a bond‑market vote (BIL vs IEF/IEI/TLH/VGLT).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside is compelling: annualized return ≈ 53.7% vs SPY’s 22.3%; Calmar ≈ 1.19 signals solid risk-adjusted performance, despite a larger drawdown (~45%). Bond-vote gates and volatility hedges aim to capture crypto/tech bursts while capping risk.

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.
