About

A daily, rules‑based “risk‑on/risk‑off” trader for US growth/tech using leveraged funds. It chases strength in uptrends, adds volatility and interest‑rate hedges when markets overheat, and scales into inverse ETFs or cash when selloffs accelerate.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads a few “dashboards” to decide offense or defense. - Heat/crash gauge on TQQQ (a 3× Nasdaq‑100 fund). If it’s very hot or drops fast, it buys fear/rate hedges (UVXY = volatility, PFIX = rising‑rates hedge) and S&P shorts. - In calm uptrends (QQQ above its trend), it owns the 3 strongest growth funds (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO/UDOW/FANG) plus some SVXY (short volatility). - If stocks weaken or bonds lead, it moves to T‑Bills or flips into inverse funds (SQQQ/SOXS/TECS) in stages.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based strategy targets US growth with hedges, delivering ~61% annualized return vs SPY's ~28%, a Calmar ~4.06, and solid risk control, with big upside in uptrends and downside protection from volatility and rate hedges.

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.
