About

A daily, rules‑based “risk‑on/risk‑off” switcher: ride 3x tech/S&P when trends are strong, rotate to the hottest sectors, and quickly hedge or move to cash/Treasuries when markets overheat or weaken. Built for big upside with many safety checks.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks market health (is the S&P 500 above its long‑term trend?). If healthy, it rides fast tech‑heavy funds (3x Nasdaq, 3x Tech, 3x Semis) or 3x S&P and rotates to the strongest sectors. If overheated/weak, it flips to hedges (VIX funds, inverse Nasdaq/S&P) or cash/Treasuries. If deeply oversold, it buys the dip. Many small rule‑sets vote; the safest/high‑edge idea wins. RSI=heat meter; MAs=trend lines.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outstanding out-of-sample edge: ~63.5% annualized return vs ~27.8% for the S&P, Calmar ~11 and Sharpe ~2.94. It captures upsides in trends (levered tech) and hedges when risk rises, delivering bigger upside with disciplined risk control.

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.
