About

A fast, rules-based trader that flips daily among 3x tech/semis, short/volatility ETFs, and long/short Treasuries using simple “hot/cold” and trend checks. It buys dips, fades rips, and even toggles ARK and Bitcoin proxies. Extremely high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a few “dials”: - Is the stock market hot or cold (RSI: a heat gauge for “too hot/too cold”)? - Is the trend up or down (moving averages)? - Are bonds rising or falling (Treasury ETFs)? Then it picks one aggressive ETF: 3x tech/semis if dips look buyable; UVXY or inverse ETFs if things look overheated; TMF/TMV if rate moves dominate. Side modules flip long/short ARK and Bitcoin proxies. Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers far higher upside than the S&P: ~52.5% annualized vs ~22.5%. It offers solid risk-adjusted returns (Calmar ~2.49, Sharpe ~1.32). Drawdowns are larger, but the potential rewards can be meaningful in strong markets.

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.
