About

A rule‑driven swing strategy focused on tech/semis. It rides uptrends with 3x ETFs, buys sharp dips, and hedges or flips short with volatility and inverse funds when markets look overheated or fearful, using bond and VIX signals. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
It watches simple “heat” and “fear” gauges: how fast prices just moved (RSI), if fear is rising (VIX via UVXY/VIXY), and if bonds look healthy (Treasuries vs T‑bills). If tech/semis plunge, it buys the dip (TECL/SOXL). If they sprint or fear spikes, it hedges or goes short (UVXY/SQQQ/SOXS). In shaky times, it shifts to T‑bills/bonds/dividends; in strong uptrends, it rides 3x tech/semis. Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~69% vs S&P 500 ~22%; Sharpe ~1.55 vs ~1.41; Calmar ~2.22. A rules-based tech/semis strategy with dynamic hedges delivers higher upside with disciplined risk controls, outperforming the S&P on risk-adjusted basis.

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.
