About

An active “risk‑on/risk‑off” strategy: push hard into leveraged tech when trends are strong, but quickly cut risk into cash, Treasuries, or hedges (VXX/short Nasdaq) when momentum overheats or turns down.
NutHow it works
Big idea: ride big tech rallies, hide during storms. - When the market’s trend is up and price strength is healthy, it buys turbo‑charged funds tied to the Nasdaq/tech (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, SPXL). - If prices run too hot (RSI is a 0–100 “speedometer”; very high = overheated), it scales into a hedge: VXX (tracks market fear) plus T‑bill cash (BIL). - If momentum breaks or volatility spikes, it moves to cash/long Treasuries (TLT/TMF) or even inverse Nasdaq (PSQ/SQQQ). - It keeps checking these signals and switches as conditions change.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic risk-on/risk-off strategy riding tech rallies with hedges. Out-of-sample annualized return ~39.8% vs S&P ~19.6%; Sharpe ~1.11, Calmar ~1.11. Higher drawdown risk in severe markets, but active hedges strive to protect capital.

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.
