About

Chases big movers: each day buys the 5 most volatile mega‑caps, then uses simple signals—buy sharp dips with leveraged funds, ride uptrends via a tech fund/stock, or step aside to T‑bills/brief hedges when overheated. Very tech‑tilted and active.
NutHow it works
Daily it ranks 11 big, liquid stocks (Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Meta, Google, Nvidia, Amazon, Costco, Berkshire, UnitedHealth, MicroStrategy) by 14‑day volatility and puts ~70% equally into the top 5. - RSI < 30 (0–100; low = heavy recent selling): buy a fund that magnifies that stock’s daily moves (or the stock for non‑tech). - Price > 20‑day average: buy a broad tech fund (VGT) or the stock. - RSI ≥ 70 or weak trend: park in T‑bills (BIL) or use a 1× inverse fund. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~46.8% annual return vs S&P ~25%, Calmar ~1.73, positive alpha. A volatility-driven tech tilt with built-in risk controls aims for higher upside while managing 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.
