About

A daily, tech‑tilted tactical plan: fade overheated markets with UVXY, buy leveraged tech/Apple on deep dips or uptrends, otherwise park in T‑bills. Signals come from Nasdaq/S&P, bonds vs short‑Nasdaq, and Apple’s own trend.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks simple “heat” gauges on big indexes and Apple. If Nasdaq/S&P look extremely hot, it flips to UVXY (a fund that often jumps when stocks fall). If tech looks washed‑out, it buys TECL (~3× tech). Otherwise a bonds‑vs‑short‑Nasdaq cue decides if it goes aggressive (AAPB ≈2× Apple when Apple’s short‑term trend is up or deeply oversold) or stays safe in SHV (T‑bills). RSI = 0–100 recent up vs down; MAs = average price trend.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tech-forward, rules-based strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted terms: Sharpe ~1.31 vs ~1.18, Calmar ~1.98, annualized return ~74.8% vs ~20.9%. Larger drawdowns exist, but hedges and regime shifts aim for bigger upside.

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.
