About

An aggressive, rules-based, semiconductor-focused strategy. It rides chip uptrends (SOXL), flips to hedges or cash when the Nasdaq overheats or weakens, uses bond signals as a lie detector, and can rotate into energy/commodities. Heavy use of leverage.
NutHow it works
Core idea: ride chip-stock uptrends, cut risk fast. - Uses SOXL (3x chips) when trends are healthy. - If the Nasdaq gets too hot or too weak, it shifts to hedges: SOXS/SQQQ (−3x), UVXY/VIXM (volatility), or cash‑like Treasuries. - Signals: RSI (0–100 heat gauge), 2–3‑month trend, and big 1‑day/1‑week jumps. - Bond check (cash vs credit, short vs long Treasuries) confirms risk‑on/off. - In calm periods, it may rotate to NVDA/AMD, SSO, energy (XLE), or commodities (DBC).
CheckmarkValue prop
Chip-driven strategy with built-in hedges and regime filters targets ~35% annualized return vs ~23% for the S&P, with beta ~0.82 and disciplined risk controls. Expect larger drawdowns in tech volatility, but the upside is compelling.

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.
