About

Daily, rules‑based swing strategy that rides tech/semis in calm uptrends, buys volatility or inverse ETFs on overheated spikes, and flips between long/short Treasuries using bond signals. Uses leveraged ETFs; very active and high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks simple “dials”: - Stocks too hot/cold (a speedometer of recent moves). If too hot, it buys volatility (UVXY/VIXY) or a bear fund (SQQQ/SOXS). If too cold—and bonds agree—it buys the dip (often SOXL/TECL/TQQQ/UPRO). - Bond trend to pick Treasuries: falling yields → TMF; rising yields → TMV. - Extra stress from commodities/currencies → a defensive pick (e.g., SHY/GLD/EWZ/UCO). It usually holds one ETF at a time and rechecks daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, regime‑driven strategy using leverage to ride tech leaders and hedge spikes with volatility and bonds. Out-of-sample: ~48% annualized return vs SPY ~21.8%, with macro diversification. Higher drawdowns—suited for 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.
