About

Two equal sleeves trade Nasdaq and Semis by fading short‑term extremes. Otherwise a macro engine rotates among leveraged Treasuries (long/short), stocks, utilities, gold miners, and the US dollar, with a cash‑like safety switch on volatility. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Split in two halves: Nasdaq‑100 and Semiconductors. Each half fades extremes: after a sharp drop it buys a 3x bull ETF (TQQQ/SOXL); after a sharp run‑up it buys a 3x bear ETF (SQQQ/SOXS), using a short‑term “heat meter.” If neither extreme: if fear (VIXM) spikes, park in cash‑like bonds (ICSH); else rotate long or short US Treasuries (TMF/TYD vs TMV/TYO) based on trends, and adjust levered stocks, utilities, gold miners, and USD. Daily rebalance.
CheckmarkValue prop
Exceptional out-of-sample edge: ~58% annualized vs S&P ~21%, with Calmar 1.45 and Sharpe ~1.27. Higher upside with managed risk through macro rotation and volatility hedges; note higher drawdowns (~40%) and beta (~2.36) vs SPY.

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.
