About

A daily, rules‑based, tech‑centric strategy: push hard in uptrends with leveraged funds, de‑risk or flip short when the Nasdaq weakens, hedge overheating with volatility, and rotate to defensives in crashes.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if the S&P 500 is in an uptrend (price above its 200‑day average). If yes, it rides big‑tech/semiconductor strength with leveraged funds; if prices look overheated it hedges with a volatility fund. If the Nasdaq slips below its ~1‑month average, it cuts risk or goes inverse (and in deeper slides, short), using simple heat/oversold readings. In crashes it may rotate to broader indexes or staples. A bond fund is a risk barometer.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~44% annualized return vs SPY’s ~20%, aided by tech leadership and risk hedges. Higher upside comes with greater volatility and bigger drawdowns in severe markets—ideal for growth-focused, risk-tolerant investors.

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.
