About

Daily, rules‑based rotation that rides or fades semiconductor/tech moves using a “heat” gauge (RSI), then switches to QQQ or defensive dollar/anti‑beta, and sometimes commodities, based on bond and US‑dollar trends. Heavy use of 3x ETFs.
NutHow it works
Heat check (RSI = 0–100 heat gauge): if stocks are very hot, short semis (SOXS); else ride semis (SOXL) unless they’re overheated. If the S&P is washed out, choose a bull (SOXL/TECL) or bear (SOXS/SQQQ) tech trade via a bonds‑vs‑high‑beta check. Otherwise, regime by trends: bonds uptrend → QQQ or defensive (USDU + BTAL; sometimes QLD/SSO). Bonds downtrend → follow USD: strong USD → rotate USDU/PDBC/OILK/XLB/GDXJ; weak USD → QQQ. Uses 3x ETFs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample powered: tech/semis rotation with dollar/defensive hedges delivering ~37% annualized return vs ~25% for the S&P, Calmar ~1.25. Higher upside, but larger drawdowns (~29.6% vs 18.8%), balanced by regime-driven risk controls.

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.
