About

A daily, rules‑based swing strategy that rotates among 3x tech/semis, VIX trades, bonds, and T‑Bills using overbought/oversold, 200‑day trend, sharp‑drop and bond/inflation signals. Seeks quick pops; hides in BIL when edges aren’t there.
NutHow it works
Main tools: TQQQ/TECL/SOXL (3x Nasdaq/Tech/Semis), SPXL (3x S&P), TMF/TMV (3x Treasuries), VIXY/UVXY/VIXM (long volatility), SVXY/SVIX (short vol), BTAL, GLD, BIL. Signals: RSI (0–100 “heat”), 200‑day avg (trend), max drawdown (worst drop), short‑term % change. Gist: In hot/overbought markets it buys volatility; after big drops it buys beaten‑down 3x tech; in uptrends it favors 3x tech; if risk spikes it sits in BIL. Bond/inflation cues tilt to semis. Daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 23.6% annualized return vs 16.2% for the S&P, driven by 3x tech/semis and volatility hedges. Daily regime signals with BIL as a safety net. Higher growth potential, but also higher drawdowns (53%).

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.
