About

Aggressive, rule-driven switcher centered on leveraged tech. Buys dips, fades rips, and shifts into volatility/bond hedges when fear or jumpiness rises. Uses RSI, trend, and bond signals. High risk; seeks big upside with crash defenses.
NutHow it works
It’s a rules-based switch. It checks: trend (price vs 25‑day average), a speedometer (RSI: 0–100; <30 = washed‑out dip, >80 = too hot), jumpiness (recent volatility), and the fear gauge (VIX funds). In calm uptrends it owns leveraged tech (TQQQ/TECL/UPRO). On fast drops it buys the dip. If too hot or fear spikes, it flips to inverse tech/VIX hedges. Bond signals guide risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~20.8% vs S&P ~19%; Sharpe ~0.62. A rules-based, regime-switching strategy that aggressively taps tech upside while using bond/volatility hedges to dampen drawdowns—even as storms can bring bigger max declines.

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.
