About

A daily, rules-driven strategy that times semiconductors, volatility, oil, natural gas, and Treasuries using simple “too hot/too cold” readings and short-term momentum. It flips between leveraged long and inverse ETFs to chase trends and add hedges.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily rule-based system. First, it checks if stocks look “too hot” or “too cold” using a 0–100 speedometer-like reading (RSI). If too hot, it buys “fear” (VIX ETFs) or plays defense. If too cold, it buys high-octane semiconductors. Otherwise, it trades oil and natural gas trends (flipping long/short) and also times long vs short Treasuries. Positions are sized to reduce risk and rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample data show this daily, rules-based strategy captures big moves in semis, energy, vol and rates while hedging risk—delivering stronger risk-adjusted returns and steadier downside protection than 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.
