About

A rules-based, volatility-aware, tech-tilted strategy: go aggressive in calm uptrends (QQQ/TQQQ/TECL), get defensive when markets overheat or get jumpy (cash, bonds, BTAL, VIXY), plus a 30% Nasdaq trend sleeve with crash protection.
NutHow it works
It’s two engines. 70% watches market “heat” and choppiness. RSI (a 0–100 hot/cold meter) flags when indexes/sectors are overheated (>~80). If things look too hot or jumpy, it hides in cash (T‑Bills), bonds, a market‑neutral hedge (BTAL), or volatility (VIXY). If calm, it leans into growth/tech (QQQ, TQQQ, TECL) and sometimes short‑vol (SVXY). 30% simply rides the Nasdaq trend (QQQ) when the market is healthy and shifts to bonds or inverse Nasdaq in bear phases.
CheckmarkValue prop
Volatility-aware, tech-tilted strategy (70/30 sleeves): chase growth in calm markets, hedge in turbulence, and keep beta low. Out-of-sample: ~15.4%/yr, Sharpe ~0.82, beta ~0.57, with crash protection 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.
