About

A daily, tactical strategy. It checks the market’s long‑term trend and short‑term “hot/cold” signals. Most of the time it sits in T‑bills, but when signals fire it briefly flips into leveraged tech, inverse Nasdaq, or a volatility hedge to play pullbacks or rebounds. High risk.
NutHow it works
Step 1: Trend check. If the S&P 500 fund (SPY) is above its 200‑day average (the average price over ~10 months), it’s “risk‑on.” Otherwise it’s “risk‑off.” Step 2: Short‑term heat check. A 10‑day RSI (0–100) marks moves as “hot” (>~80) or “cold” (<~30). High = stretched up; low = sold off. Actions: - Risk‑on and overheated: shift into a volatility hedge (UVXY) plus some T‑bills (SHV). - Risk‑on and not overheated: mostly SHV, with small tech exposure (TQQQ/QQQ). - Risk‑off and very cold: buy the dip with leveraged bulls (TECL or UPRO) and/or SHV. - Otherwise in risk‑off: hold SHV with a small tilt to inverse Nasdaq (SQQQ) or tech (TQQQ), guided by short‑term trend. Key tickers: TQQQ/QQQ/TECL = tech up; SQQQ = tech down; SPY/UPRO/SPXL = S&P 500 up; UVXY = volatility hedge; SHV = T‑bills.

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.
