About

Trades 3x tech and semiconductor ETFs, often fading overheated moves and switching to UVXY when markets look stretched; otherwise stays long via bull ETFs. Extremely high risk.
NutHow it works
It’s a high‑octane, rules‑based trader split into three sleeves: Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ/SQQQ), Semis (SOXL/SOXS), and Tech (TECL/TECS). It uses RSI—a 0–100 “heat meter” of recent buying—to spot when prices look very hot. If SPY/QQQ or key sectors are overheated, it jumps to UVXY (a volatility fund). Otherwise, each sleeve compares short‑ vs longer‑term heat: if heat is rising fast it often flips to the bear ETF; if not, it stays with the bull. Sometimes it parks in T‑bills (BIL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperform the S&P with a rules-based, 3x tech/semis strategy. In out-of-sample testing it shows higher risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ~1.24 vs 1.01; Calmar ~1.50) and much bigger upside, albeit with larger 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.
