About

A daily, rules-based semiconductor strategy that adapts to volatility. It buys 2x chips when washed out, shorts/hedges when overheated, and otherwise rotates between growth ETFs and safety hedges using momentum checks. Uses leveraged/inverse ETFs; high risk.
NutHow it works
1) Gauge how wild chip stocks (SOXX) are. 2) Use a 0–100 heat gauge (RSI) on SOXX: high=overbought, low=oversold. - High/med vol: too hot → short chips (SSG); too cold → buy 2x chips (USD). - Low vol: too hot → move to Treasuries (TLT); too cold → buy USD. 3) If in‑between, check leadership and risk-on/off (chip leaders vs SOXX, Industrials vs Utilities, junk bonds, Nasdaq) and rotate into growth funds (QQQ, sectors) or hedges (gold, dollar, Treasuries, volatility, inverse ETFs). Rebalances daily.

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.
