About

Active, rules‑based strategy that chases tech‑led momentum with leveraged ETFs but quickly cuts risk to cash, bonds, or volatility hedges when markets overheat or wobble. Includes small mean‑reversion side trades and a managed‑futures cross‑check.
NutHow it works
Most of the time it rides big U.S. tech trends using aggressive funds (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL), picked by recent strength. RSI (a “too hot/too cold” gauge) and moving averages act as guardrails: if markets look overheated or stressed, it shifts to cash‑like T‑bills (BIL), bonds, or volatility hedges (VIXY/UVXY). When calm returns, it re‑engages. Small side trades play sharp swings in China, biotech, and real estate. A managed‑futures ETF (KMLM) is used as a cross‑asset check to dial risk up or down.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~24.5% annualized return, Calmar ~6.64, beta ~0.72—vs S&P ~17.6% with higher drawdowns. A rules-based, tech-momentum strategy that rides trends and hedges volatility spikes for smoother equity exposure.

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.
