About

Tactical biotech: ride uptrends with BIB (2x), short extreme spikes with BIS (−2x), and shift to defensive sectors, gold, and the U.S. dollar when volatility rises. Uses simple heat, trend, drawdown, and volatility checks to switch.
NutHow it works
This is a biotech‑focused switcher. • Risk‑on: buy BIB (a 2x biotech fund) when the trend is up or after deep oversold. • Fade extremes: use BIS (a −2x biotech fund) when biotech is red‑hot or on sharp bounces after a crash. • Risk‑off: rotate into 2–3 defensive sector funds (health care, utilities, staples), plus gold (GLD) and/or the U.S. dollar (USDU) when recent drops or bond turbulence appear. It judges heat (RSI), short‑term average, drop from recent high (drawdown), and choppiness (volatility).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return 35.6% vs SPY 21.2%, driven by biotech momentum and tactical risk-off rotations. Beta ~0.73, Calmar ~0.93—more upside with defined risk and an 850-day track record.

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.
