About

Daily rules-based swing system in leveraged tech, semis, and volatility ETFs. Buys 3x tech/semis after selloffs, hedges or shorts when things are overheated, and parks in T‑Bills during stress. Ends by choosing the 3 most oversold signals.
NutHow it works
Each day it scans a list of high‑octane funds (3x tech/semis/S&P, long bonds, gold, and VIX up/down funds). It uses simple tripwires: RSI (a 0–100 heat gauge), quick drawdown checks, and the 200‑day average. If markets run too hot, it hedges with VIX funds or moves to T‑Bills (BIL). If they’re washed‑out, it buys 3x tech/semis. It also watches bonds vs stocks and inflation. Finally, it picks the 3 most oversold choices and splits the money equally. Very volatile.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy outperforms the S&P on upside: ~26.6% annualized vs 16.4%, with risk controls (Calmar ~0.50, Sharpe ~0.68) and hedges (T‑Bills, VIX) to protect capital while capturing tech/semis momentum.

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.
