About

A daily, high-octane, tech-first strategy that chases uptrends with 3x ETFs, but slams the brakes—flipping to VIX hedges, inverse funds, or cash—when short-term signals get too hot, too cold, or too volatile. Occasional small side bets in NVDA/cannabis/biotech.
NutHow it works
- It mainly rides big tech uptrends with 3x funds (like TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO). - If the market gets “too hot,” it quickly flips to volatility funds (UVXY/UVIX) or inverse funds (SQQQ/SPXU). - If it gets “too cold,” it buys the dip in those 3x funds. - Sharp daily moves trigger short-term hedges or cash (BIL). - A long-term trend check (200‑day) decides if it should be aggressive or defensive.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.95 vs S&P ~1.52; Calmar ~5.26 with alpha ~0.48. Big upside: ~166% annualized vs ~32% for the S&P, as tech trends are chased with smart hedges for risk-controlled, higher-return exposure.

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.
