About

A daily-rebalanced, hedged, leveraged mix of tech/semiconductor longs (TECL, TQQQ, SOXL) with bears (SQQQ, SOXS) plus bond/cash hedges to chase gains in strong markets and limit risk in stress.
NutHow it works
This strategy daily selects a mix of 3x levered stock bets (TECL, TQQQ, SOXL) and their inverse plays (SQQQ, SOXS), plus bond/cash hedges (TMF, TMV, BIL, PHDG, UDOW) based on a bundle of signals. If momentum and volatility look favorable, it tilts toward the levered long trio; if signals turn cautious or volatility spikes, it shifts toward hedges and cash. A built-in Black Swan filter detects spike in SPY volatility (10-day std dev > 30%) to defensively reweight. The goal is to chase upside in strong markets with aggressive long bets while containing risk through hedges and bonds; the plan is rebalanced every day to adapt to new signals.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this dynamic hedged tech strategy pursues upside with risk controls: ~20.6% annualized return and Calmar ~0.50, plus built-in hedges and a Black Swan filter. It offers diversification and a disciplined risk-off option relative to the S&P 500.

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.
