About

Rules‑based, safety‑first swing system. It rides clear uptrends with 3x tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, SVXY) and shifts to T‑bills/short bonds or hedges (UVXY, SQQQ, SOXS) when markets weaken or overheat; sometimes prefers TLT. High risk/volatility.
NutHow it works
It watches trend (price vs 50/200‑day averages) and “heat” (RSI: a 0–100 speed gauge; high=hot/overbought, low=cold/oversold). In clear uptrends—especially when bonds are firm vs stocks—it buys 3x tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL) and often SVXY. When weak or overheated, it moves to T‑bills/short bonds (BIL/BSV) or hedges with UVXY, SQQQ or SOXS; in selloffs it may prefer long Treasuries (TLT) if stronger. Trades change only when signals flip.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets outsized upside: ~30.7% annualized vs SPY ~19.3%, by riding 3x tech/semis in uptrends with hedges during pullbacks. Expect higher volatility and ~36% max drawdown, with beta ~1.86.

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.
