About

A daily, high‑risk switcher among leveraged ETFs. It fades overheated markets into volatility or bearish tech, buys deep dips in 3× tech/semis/biotech, sometimes rides the strongest 3× trend, and falls back to 3× bonds or cash.
NutHow it works
Every day it checks RSI (a 0–100 meter of recent buying vs. selling: high=overheated, low=washed‑out). If global/US stocks (IOO, SPY, TQQQ) look overheated, it often flips to UVXY (volatility) or to bearish tech. If certain 3× sectors look washed‑out (SOXL, TECL, LABU), it buys them for a bounce. If none, it may pick the strongest 3× (TECL/FNGU/SOXL/UPRO) by 10‑day return, else 3× bonds (TMF) or cash (BIL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~32% vs S&P ~26%, with Calmar ~1.15 signaling solid risk-adjusted gains. Tactical 3× ETFs, volatility hedges, and sector rotation target higher upside and better downturn defense—though drawdowns can be larger.

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.
