About

A daily, contrarian bet focused on semiconductors/tech. It compares short‑term strength of bonds vs chips, then either buys one chip play (often 3× bull) or a 3× inverse tech fund. ~90% invested, 10% cash. Very volatile with potential large swings.
NutHow it works
Each day: 1) Score US mid‑term Treasury bonds (IEI) and the semiconductor sector (XSD) by how strongly they’ve moved over the last few days (RSI = a quick up‑vs‑down score). 2) If bonds look “hotter” than chips, buy one semiconductor play (SOXL or a chip stock) chosen by very short‑term performance. 3) Otherwise, buy one bearish tech fund (SOXS or TECS). About 90% is invested; 10% stays in cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Compelling as a tactical satellite to SPY: a contrarian semis/bonds tilt with lower beta (0.74) and diversification benefits. However, out-of-sample return is modest (~2.4%/yr) with steep drawdowns (61%), so use as a risk-managed, non-core sleeve.

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.
