About

A fast‑switching, daily strategy that rides uptrends with leveraged tech/Nasdaq, then quickly hedges in stress using inverse index and VIX‑based funds, with occasional small theme bets (e.g., cannabis) and leader picks (NVDA/LLY). Very volatile.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: 1) Trend: is the S&P 500 above its 200‑day average? 2) Heat: recent gains/losses and RSI (a 0–100 gauge of how stretched prices are). 3) Jumps: are daily moves unusually wild? If trend is up and calm, it holds fast‑growth funds (3x Nasdaq/S&P like TQQQ/UPRO, tech/semis). If fear rises or trend weakens, it flips to hedges: inverse index funds (SQQQ/SPXU), VIX funds (UVXY/UVIX; VIX = the market’s “fear” gauge), Treasuries/gold. When calm returns, it may short fear (SVXY/SVIX). It also makes small theme bets (e.g., cannabis when biotech beats staples) and sometimes picks leaders like NVDA (via 2x NVDL) or defensive LLY.
CheckmarkValue prop
Aggressive, rules-based strategy seeking tech-led upside with leverage and crisis hedges. It offers diversification beyond the S&P but shows higher out-of-sample volatility and drawdowns (≈13.8% annualized vs SPY’s 17.7%), so best used as a satellite—not core—allocation.

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.
