About

A semiconductor‑only timing strategy. It buys dips, fades spikes, and otherwise follows trend/overbought‑oversold signals, adjusting aggression to market volatility. Uses SMH, 3x bull/bear funds (SOXL/SOXS), plus dollar/Treasury/VIX hedges.
NutHow it works
It times the semiconductor sector. First, it checks market “stress” (via a volatility gauge) to decide how aggressively to act. • Huge single‑day drops → buy the dip with a leveraged bull fund and a 30% hedge. • Huge single‑day pops → fade with a leveraged bear fund and some bonds. • Otherwise: if semis look cheap, lean bullish; if too hot, lean bearish; if trending up, hold the core ETF; if trending down, move to defense (bears or short‑term bonds).

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.
