About

Aggressive, tech-heavy, rules-based switchboard. In uptrends it rotates into strong 3x stock funds and a small short-vol slice; when markets overheat it hedges; when trends break it de-risks or shorts. Goal: ride rallies, defend in selloffs. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Rebalances daily. First: is the S&P 500 above its 200-day average? If yes: - If things look too hot, shift to a crash-hedge mix (VIXY + T-Bills + BTAL). - Else ride the fastest 3x stock funds (mainly tech/Nasdaq: TQQQ, SOXL, TECL) and keep ~1/3 in SVXY. If not in an uptrend or momentum breaks: - Cut risk, buy only deep dips, or park in bonds/cash; if weakness worsens, short via PSQ/SQQQ. RSI = a hot/cold meter.
CheckmarkValue prop
High upside with managed risk: out-of-sample annualized return ~52% vs ~20% for the S&P, Calmar ~1.17, and proactive hedges to limit drawdowns. Leveraged tech bets with regime-switching for growth.

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.
