About

A hybrid strategy: contrarian “pop” trades in leveraged equity/volatility ETFs, plus a momentum rotation across tech, Treasuries, commodities, gold miners, and the US dollar. Sizes toward the calmer pick and shifts to short‑term Treasuries when fear spikes.
NutHow it works
Two modes. 1) Pop trades: after fast drops (10‑day RSI <30) it buys bounces in TQQQ, SPXL or SOXL (3x Nasdaq/S&P/Semis). After hot runs (RSI >80 on TQQQ/SPXL) it buys UVXY (volatility). RSI = a short‑term speedometer. 2) Otherwise it rotates among TQQQ, TMF/TMV (Treasuries), DBC (commodities), JNUG (gold miners) and USDU (US$) using 6‑month performance, giving more to the steadier pick. If fear (VIXM) spikes, it parks in SHY.
CheckmarkValue prop
Hybrid contrarian-rotation strategy: 3x ETF pop bets plus adaptive cross-asset rotation (tech, bonds, commodities, USD) with volatility risk controls (SHY on spikes). Out-of-sample: ~22% annualized return; diversified exposure beyond the S&P 500.

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.
