About

Three-sleeve, rules-based system. Buys tech/semis on dips, shorts or hedges after sharp pops, and harvests calm via SVXY unless fear rises—using RSI, volatility, and bond-trend filters. Very high risk (uses 3× and VIX ETFs); often parks in cash.
NutHow it works
Your money is split into 3 rule sets: 1) “TQQQ‑or‑not”: buys 3× Nasdaq (TQQQ) after pullbacks, parks in T‑Bills (BIL) or hedges with UVXY after big spikes; bond trends (TLT/IEF/BND) act as brakes. 2) “Pop”: contrarian swings in QQQ/semis (SOXL/SOXS) using RSI—an overbought/oversold score from 0–100. 3) “SVXY 4TLT”: holds SVXY (short fear) in calm markets; flips to UVXY (long fear) or buys oversold 3× stock ETFs when risks flash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tri-sleeve strategy delivers ~76% annualized return vs ~23% for the S&P, with Sharpe ~1.54 vs ~1.42. Higher drawdowns (~37% vs ~19%) but much higher upside and disciplined risk gates.

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.
