About

Aggressive, rules‑based swing strategy that rotates among leveraged tech and single‑name ETFs (AAPL, TSLA, NVDA), or hedges/cash, using simple dials: market heat (RSI), fear (VIX), and bonds‑vs‑stocks. Aims to buy dips and sidestep spikes; rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks three dials: 1) RSI: a quick “heat” gauge (high=overbought, low=washed‑out), 2) VIX funds: a fear meter (high=fear), 3) Bonds vs stocks: Treasuries doing well can signal risk easing. If heat or fear is extreme, it moves to cash or hedges with inverse funds. Otherwise it rides fast movers (mostly tech) via leveraged ETFs or single‑name Apple/Tesla/Nvidia funds. Buys dips, avoids spikes, rotates quickly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: potential upside—28.3% annualized vs 24.4% for the S&P—driven by a tech-heavy, dip-buying rotation. But expect larger drawdowns (44% vs ~19%). Best for investors who tolerate risk and want aggressive growth.

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.
