About

Aggressive, rules-based swing strategy that fades extremes: buys volatility on sharp run-ups, buys 3x tech/semis on selloffs, and uses bond/volatility cues to flip risk on/off. Very active and high risk with leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
It swings between three modes using simple “heat” gauges and confirmations: - If the market looks overheated (very high heat score or big 1‑day pops), it buys volatility or inverse funds to bet on a pullback. - If it looks washed out, it buys turbo-charged tech/semis funds for a rebound. - Bond and volatility signals confirm risk-on/off; otherwise it parks in defensive or dividend funds. Very active and high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~71% annualized return vs SPY ~22%, higher Sharpe (~1.60 vs 1.41) and Calmar (~2.26), with dynamic volatility/tech/semis rotations managing risk while pursuing growth.

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.
