About

A hyper‑active switchboard that flips daily between 3x tech/semis, VIX/short hedges, and 3x Treasury trades using “hot/cold” price gauges and bond/commodity cues, with ARK and Bitcoin side modules. Extremely high risk and turnover.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks three things: 1) Are stocks “too hot” or “too cold”? Hot → buy market airbags (VIX/short funds). Cold and bonds supportive → buy fast movers (3x tech/semis). 2) Are rates/inflation rising or falling? That picks TMF vs TMV and risk‑on vs defense. 3) Side bets: ARK (TARK/SARK) and Bitcoin (BITO/BITI). Rebalanced daily. Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~52% annualized return vs SPY ~22%, with Calmar 2.49 and Sharpe ~1.32. It dynamically shifts between leveraged tech bets and hedges to capture upside while managing drawdowns.

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.
