About

A daily tactical strategy that buys dips in a few 3x equity ETFs (Nasdaq, S&P 500, semis) during uptrends, buys rebounds after sharp selloffs if bonds confirm, and briefly hedges overheated surges with volatility. Uses simple trend/RSI/bond checks.
NutHow it works
It swing‑trades a few very fast funds. Steps: 1) Trend check (is the S&P 500 above its 200‑day average?). 2) Heat check (RSI: a 0–100 “speedometer” of how stretched prices are). 3) Bond check (are risk assets beating Treasuries?). If trend is up and not overheated, it buys the two recent laggards from 3x Nasdaq/S&P/semis (and 3x Treasuries). If washed‑out, it buys the rebound. If overheated, it briefly hedges with volatility (UVXY). Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Seek higher long‑term growth with a regime‑driven, leveraged equity strategy. OOS returns ~23.48% vs S&P 22.91%, supported by dynamic hedges and cross‑asset signals. Note drawdowns can reach ~55%; best for investors with higher risk tolerance.

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.
