About

Scales into a 3x semiconductor fund (SOXL) as more trend signals turn bullish, and parks the rest in T‑bills (BIL). Four equal “switches” let it hold 0–100% SOXL in 25% steps. Rebalanced daily; high risk when in SOXL.
NutHow it works
It checks SOXL’s trend using four tests of short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages (averages that emphasize recent prices). For each test that’s bullish, 25% goes into SOXL; if not, that 25% sits in BIL (short‑term T‑bills). Rebalanced daily. SOXL is a 3x leveraged semiconductor fund; BIL is cash‑like.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic four-signal trend strategy scales into SOXL with a cash buffer, delivering ~42.6% OOS annualized return vs SPY ~22.2%. Strong upside in tech upcycles; note larger drawdowns (~63%) in tough markets despite trend rules.

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.
