About

Two‑speed trend strategy focused on semiconductors: 90% SOXX + 10% SOXL in uptrends, 90% SHV + 10% TMV otherwise. If SOXX becomes very oversold (RSI<30), it buys the dip even if the broader trend is down.
NutHow it works
Assets: SOXX (chip stocks), SOXL (3x semis), SHV (T‑bills), TMV (3x inverse long‑term Treasuries). The portfolio has two halves. One uses slower trend checks (200‑day/50‑day averages), the other faster (100‑day/20‑day). If SOXX’s price is above its long‑term average and the short‑term average is above the long‑term, that half holds 90% SOXX + 10% SOXL; otherwise 90% SHV + 10% TMV. Exception: if SOXX’s 10‑day RSI (an oversold gauge) drops below 30, that half buys SOXX/SOXL anyway.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this two-speed semis strategy targets ~41% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P 500, with Calmar ~1.06. Expect larger drawdowns (~39%), but potential for outsized upside with disciplined risk controls.

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.
