About

An aggressive, daily‑tactical strategy that rotates between 3x tech/semiconductor bulls, inverse/volatility hedges, and cash/bonds using a fear gauge, bond‑vs‑cash signal, and simple “too hot/too cold” and trend checks.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: Is fear spiking? If yes, hide in cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL). If not, read bonds vs cash (IEF vs BIL) and simple “heat” scores (RSI: 0–100; high=too hot, low=washed out) and trend lines (20/200‑day averages). It then flips among 3x bull tech/semis (TQQQ, SOXL, SPXL, UPRO), inverse/volatility (SQQQ, SPXS, SOXS, UVIX), or bonds/dollar (TMF, BSV, AGG, USDU), often buying recent laggards for short‑term rebounds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Active, tech-tilted strategy rotating among leveraged tech, hedges, and cash/bonds using fear/trend signals to ride rallies and curb losses. OOS return ~22.6% vs SPY ~23.3%, but with much higher drawdowns; suited for risk-tolerant tech fans.

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.
