About

A daily tactical trader that rotates among leveraged tech/semis/biotech and Tesla ETFs, uses RSI and moving‑average trends to buy dips or fade extremes, occasionally taps UVXY for volatility spikes, and parks in short‑term Treasuries when no edge.
NutHow it works
It switches daily among a few high‑octane themes: semiconductors (SOXL/SOXS), tech (TECL), biotech (LABU), Tesla (TSLL/TSLS), volatility (UVXY), or cash (SHV/IEF). It uses simple signals: RSI (0–100 heat gauge; low=oversold, high=overbought), moving averages (50 vs 200‑day for trend), and big 1‑day moves to buy dips, fade extremes, or sit in cash. Goal: catch short bursts, avoid chop.

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.
