About

A fast, all‑in tactical strategy that rides 3x tech/semis or 3x S&P when trends are strong, flips to inverse 3x or T‑Bills when stress hits, and uses bond/commodity/dollar signals (plus brief RSI/volatility checks) to pick the single position each time.
NutHow it works
It first reads the market “weather” using simple checks: are stocks/bonds trending up or down (prices vs long averages), how big were recent moves, and how “hot/cold” things look (RSI = 0–100 heat gauge). Then it puts all money in one pick: usually 3x tech/semis (TQQQ/SOXL) or 3x S&P (UPRO) when risk‑on; flips to inverse 3x (SQQQ/SPXU/SOXS) or cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL) when risk‑off; uses 3x long/short Treasuries (TMF/TMV) for falling/rising rates; can also choose oil/energy, the US dollar, or a single hot stock.
CheckmarkValue prop
An adaptive, all-in rotation riding 3x tech/semis when trends confirm, with hedges in risk-off. Out-of-sample: ~23.3% annualized return vs ~18.9% for SPY; Calmar ~0.54, but max drawdown ~43.6%—higher upside, higher risk.

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.
