About

A daily switch: if semiconductors look stronger than defensive funds by a simple strength gauge, go 50/50 into two 3× tech ETFs (TQQQ, TECL). Otherwise hold T‑bills (BIL). High risk when “on,” safer when “off.”
NutHow it works
Each day it checks whether chip stocks (SMH) look stronger than two defensive funds—managed futures (WTMF) and a hedged stock fund (FTLS)—using a simple “heat meter” of recent price strength (RSI; higher = stronger). If chips are stronger, it goes 50/50 into two very aggressive 3× tech funds (TQQQ, TECL). If not, it sits in a cash‑like T‑bill fund (BIL). Rebalanced daily; big swings when “on,” calmer when in BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets far higher upside (≈58.6% annualized vs 18.1% S&P) with better risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ≈1.04 vs 0.96; Calmar ≈1.85), powered by semiconductor leadership signals.

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.
