About

A daily, rules-based trader that times semiconductors, oil, natural gas, Treasuries, and volatility using heat gauges (RSI) and recent-return comparisons. It flips long/short with leveraged ETFs and spreads risk across uncorrelated sleeves to limit drawdowns.
NutHow it works
It tries to ride fast trends in a few “big mover” areas (semiconductors, oil, natural gas, long bonds, and market volatility). First, it checks if markets look “too hot” or “too cold” using a 0–100 heat gauge (RSI). If not extreme, it picks the strongest side (long or short) by comparing recent average gains across ETFs. It diversifies across sleeves and sizes some trades by volatility.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample-tested, this rules-based strategy rides fast trends across semis, energy, bonds, and volatility, using RSI heat gauges and cross-asset momentum. Diversified, levered sleeves seek higher risk-adjusted returns with lower drawdowns vs the S&P 500.

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.
