About

A rules-driven, high-octane Tesla/semiconductor strategy. It uses a Nasdaq trend gauge, recent drop/bounce checks, and bond/cash signals to flip between TSLA, SOXL/SOXS, UVXY, the dollar, or bonds—and to short tech when risk turns off.
NutHow it works
1) Check if the Nasdaq (via a 3x fund) is above its ~200‑day average. If yes: buy dips/sell rips and mostly ride Tesla; if no: play defense or short tech. 2) After big weekly drops and sharp bounces, briefly ride fear (UVXY) or bearish semis (SOXS). 3) Use a simple hot/cold meter to pick the “strongest” or “most beaten‑down” among Tesla, semiconductor bull/bear funds, the dollar, or bond funds. 4) Bond and cash signals act as risk-on/off switches and choose which hedge to pair with Tesla.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~60% annualized return vs SPY ~23%, Calmar ~1.46. A rules-based TSLA/semis strategy uses hedges (bonds, dollar, volatility) to chase upside while aiming to control risk—note higher drawdowns in rare crashes.

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.
