About

Rules-based, short‑term switching among T‑bills, a volatility‑spike fund, and leveraged semiconductor bulls/bears. Uses the S&P 500 trend, “too hot/too cold” signals, and a KMLM trend filter to pick SOXL, SOXS, UVXY, or cash.
NutHow it works
It sets the backdrop by checking if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day average. - If below: if any big index/sector looks “too hot,” it buys UVXY, a fund that jumps when volatility spikes. Otherwise it trades semiconductors: after a burst and quick cool‑off it may buy SOXL (bull); if weak, use SOXS (bear) or hold T‑bills (BIL). - A filter compares SOXL’s “heat” to KMLM (a trend‑following fund); if KMLM looks stronger, it prefers safety. It usually puts 100% in one choice.
CheckmarkValue prop
A tactical sleeve diversifying beyond the S&P 500 with volatility hedges and semiconductor momentum. It provides non-correlated exposure and regime-aware risk management—great as a satellite allocation for volatility-drenched markets.

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.
