About

A high-risk, rule-based system that bets on big up/down moves in tech and volatility using SOXL/SOXS (replacing old Nasdaq levers), with a Tesla-led long tilt hedged by bonds and the US dollar, and a dip-buy/sell-rally logic designed for short horizons.
NutHow it works
The system runs as a cascaded set of decision rules. It starts with a cash bucket split across major blocks. In the main block (Buy the dip. Sell the rip.), it looks at a small number of leveraged or inverse ETFs tied to semiconductors, Nasdaq tech, and volatility, and chooses 1 asset to buy or short based on short-term performance signals. It uses short lookback windows (1–7 days) to measure if an asset has momentum or has recently fallen enough to merit a dip-buy. It then applies a simple ranking (top/bottom) on momentum indicators to pick the asset and assigns a weight (roughly 30–48% to the selected asset). If the signal is negative or neutral, it may switch to a hedged or short posture using the semiconductor bear (SOXS) or other hedges. A separate long-bias subtree focuses on a Tesla-themed position (“TSLA”) combined with hedges (UUP for dollar strength, EDV for long bonds, etc.) when a different set of momentum or trend checks indicate a favorable environment for a risk-on tilt. There are conditional branches that compare current price behavior to moving averages, and that compare the relative momentum of TSLA, various bond/hedge ETFs, and the market proxies. If certain triggers are met (e.g., a short-term move suggesting weakness in growth tech or a rally in bonds/dollar), the system may switch toward a protective posture, using SOXS or other hedges. The strategy intentionally uses SOXL and SOXS in place of older triple-leveraged Nasdaq products to emphasize a semiconductor-focused long/short dial, aiming for clean, directional bets on a key tech subsector while keeping a flexible hedging framework via bonds and the dollar. In short: it is a fast-moving, rule-based, high-leverage approach that tries to ride big moves in tech and volatility, with a Tesla-driven long tilt and a hedged core to guard against drawdowns.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~45.6% annualized return vs S&P ~23.2%, with a hedged core (bonds/dollar) to temper shocks. Higher risk: max drawdown ~50% vs ~18.8% for the S&P. Ideal for investors seeking big tech/volatility moves.

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.
