About

Aggressive, K‑1‑free, tactical rotation. Rides tech/semis (TQQQ/SOXL) when trends aren’t overheated; flips to hedges (SQQQ/SOXS) or cash (BIL) when markets are too hot, falling fast, or volatile. Uses bond behavior as a risk gauge.
NutHow it works
It’s a switch that flips between offense and defense using simple “market temperature” and trend checks. - RSI = a heat meter (too hot → fade/hedge; too cold → bounce). - Moving average = trendline. - Max drawdown/volatility = stress tests. Offense: TQQQ/SOXL. Defense: SQQQ/SOXS or cash (BIL). Bonds guide the regime.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside: ~45% annualized return vs ~21% for the S&P, with ~38% max drawdown and Calmar ~1.17. Positive Sharpe (~0.90) and alpha (~0.20%). Higher potential returns, with regime-driven risk controls and hedges.

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.
