About

A fast, rules‑based “risk switchboard” that swings between leveraged tech, cash/bonds, gold, and hedges (volatility/inverse funds). It buys dips, rides trends, and steps aside when risk spikes using fear gauges and trend checks.
NutHow it works
It watches fear/greed (the VIX and whether prices have run up or fallen too fast), short‑term drops/rallies, and the stock‑vs‑bond trend. If fear is high or prices look over‑extended, it moves to hedges (volatility or inverse funds) or T‑Bills. If fear is low and trends are up, it rides high‑octane tech (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). On sharp selloffs it buys the dip, then trims as markets cool.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~60% vs S&P ~23%; Calmar ~1.42 signals strong risk-adjusted upside. A dynamic mix of leveraged tech, hedges, and bonds uses risk-switching to chase gains while controlling risk—aware of larger 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.
