About

A daily, rules‑driven strategy that rotates among aggressive tech/semiconductor ETFs, hedges (inverse/volatility), bonds, cash‑like T‑Bills and JEPI income. It buys dips, rides short bursts of strength, and cuts risk fast. Uses leveraged/inverse ETFs; high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks simple signals: stock momentum, “hot/cold” readings, bond trend (rates), and whether commodities beat stocks. If risk is on, it buys the strongest tech/semiconductor ETFs (often 3x). If risk is off, it flips to inverse/volatility hedges, USD or bond trades (TMF/TMV), or parks in T‑Bills/JEPI. Extra “pop” rules buy sharp dips and hedge outsized one‑day spikes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher upside than the S&P 500: ~31% annualized vs ~23% for SPY, powered by daily risk-on/off rotations and hedges. Expect larger drawdowns (~33%), but potential for quicker recoveries when regimes flip.

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.
