About

A biotech‑first switcher: 2x long (BIB) in healthy uptrends, 2x short (BIS) when biotech is overheated, otherwise rotates into a safety basket (gold, U.S. dollar, and defensive sectors) using simple heat and drawdown checks.
NutHow it works
Focus: biotech. It rides uptrends with BIB (a 2x bullish biotech fund) and can short sharp spikes with BIS (a 2x bearish biotech fund). When biotech looks weak or jumpy, it parks in a safety mix: GLD (gold), USDU (long U.S. dollar), and 1–3 sector funds such as XLV (health care), XLU (utilities), XLP (staples). It switches using simple heat checks: stretched vs beaten‑down prices, price vs a short‑term average, big recent drops, and whether bonds are outpacing stocks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~1.31 Sharpe and ~39% annualized return, with low beta (~0.73) and a Calmar over 1.0, vs SPY. A biotech-first, levered long/short tilt plus safety sleeves aims for superior risk-adjusted upside while limiting big losses.

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.
