About

Daily, rules‑based: buy the dip in bull markets using 3x tech/S&P/semis or long Treasuries, hedge when markets get too hot, and rotate to cash/bonds/dollar/inverse ETFs in downtrends. Uses RSI and SPY trend filters. High risk, fast‑moving.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks the big trend (SPY vs 200‑day/long EMAs) and a heat gauge (RSI: 0–100; >75 hot, <30 cold). In uptrends it buys two recent ‘dip’ names among 3x NASDAQ/S&P/Semis or Treasuries; when too hot it hedges (UVXY/inverse); when too cold it buys the dip after a bonds check. In downtrends it shifts to dollar, bonds/cash or inverse. Key ETFs: TQQQ (3x NASDAQ‑100), SPXL/UPRO (3x S&P), SOXL (3x semis); SQQQ/SPXS/SOXS = 3x shorts; UVXY = volatility; TMF = 3x Treasuries.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample returns approach SPY (22.49% vs 22.89%), with dynamic hedging and regime shifts to capture rallies while seeking downside protection via bonds/cash. Daily rebalancing offers disciplined risk control and diversification.

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.
