About

Fast, tactical plan: ride chip/tech rallies (often via TQQQ), buy sharp dips, and switch to volatility hedges (UVXY) or steadier diversifiers (FTLS/KMLM/UUP) when markets look overheated or weak. Heavy tech/semis; very aggressive; expect big swings.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a speedometer (RSI: 0=cold, 100=red‑hot) on key funds. - Core: If chips (SMH: semiconductor makers) look stronger than a cautious stock fund (FTLS: long/short), it goes all‑in TQQQ (3x Nasdaq). If not, it prefers calmer diversifiers (FTLS/KMLM: managed‑futures/UUP: US‑dollar). - If many areas look red‑hot, it buys UVXY (a volatility airbag). - If things get very oversold, it buys TECL/SOXL/SPXL for rebounds. - Extra rules juggle Treasuries (TMF/TMV) or short‑term bonds (BSV).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 21.22% annualized return vs SPY ~17.07%; levered tech regime + hedges drive higher upside. Expect larger drawdowns (~31% vs ~19%), but stronger long-run growth and diversification.

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.
