About

Daily, rules-based swing strategy focused on semiconductors and Nasdaq. It rotates among 3x bull/bear ETFs, volatility (UVIX), and T‑bills/bonds based on volatility spikes, trend direction, and overbought/oversold readings.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks: 1) Is market volatility spiking? If yes, park in T‑bills (BIL). 2) Are bonds stronger than cash and is the market hot/cold? It then either rides semiconductors/tech with 3x funds (SOXL, TQQQ, SPXL/UPRO), or uses hedges (UVIX, SOXS/SQQQ) or bonds (TMF/BSV). Trend filters (200‑day/20‑day) guide bull vs bear mode.
CheckmarkValue prop
A tactical, rules-based strategy targeting semis, volatility hedges, and cash/bonds. Returns near the S&P (~22.6% vs 23.3%), with diversification and systematic risk controls—though stressed markets can see larger drawdowns.

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.
