About

Buys 3× Nasdaq after selloffs, shifts to a volatility fund when rallies look stretched, otherwise parks in T‑bills and Berkshire—plus a small, always‑on diversified core. High risk, tactical, contrarian.
NutHow it works
RSI is a 0–100 “heat” score of recent price moves (low=cold/sold off, high=hot/overbought). • If TQQQ (3× Nasdaq) looks very cold, most sleeves buy it for a rebound (high risk). • If it looks very hot, some sleeves buy UVXY (jumps when markets drop). • Otherwise they hold BIL (T‑bills) + BRK/B (Berkshire). A small core stays diversified across stock, bond, commodity, and Bitcoin ETFs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~9.5% with Sharpe ~1.31, Calmar ~3.11 and max drawdown ~3%. Beta ~0.21 means less market swing than the S&P. Tactical Nasdaq/volatility bets plus a diversified core aim for durable upside with lower risk.

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.
