About

Rules‑based “pop” trader that buys short dips in tech/S&P with 3× funds, hides in SPHD or T‑bills when unclear, and hedges with inverse/volatility when overheated; bond and sector strength decide when to take risk.
NutHow it works
It uses a simple “heat” gauge (RSI) to spot when markets are too hot or too cold, plus bond/sector trends to judge risk. - Too hot → hedge (UVIX, TECS/SPXU) or park in T‑bills (BIL). - Washed‑out → buy brief pops with 3× tech/S&P (TECL, TQQQ, SPXL/UDOW). - Otherwise stay in SPHD (high‑dividend, low‑vol stocks). Bonds (BND, IEF vs TLT) act as a weather vane.
CheckmarkValue prop
Edge: ~51% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P, Calmar ~1.70. RSI-driven tech tilt with hedges captures short rebounds while aiming to limit drawdowns.

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.
