About

A rules-based swing strategy that toggles between shorting Bitcoin, owning a Bitcoin proxy, or using leveraged Nasdaq/S&P funds with hedges and bonds—guided by how “hot” or “cold” recent moves look and whether the market just had a sharp drop.
NutHow it works
About 95% of the money rotates among: shorting Bitcoin (BITI), riding Bitcoin via MicroStrategy (MSTR), or a tech-heavy Nasdaq/S&P play (QLD/SSO) with hedges (QID/SDS/BSV/UVXY). • If Bitcoin is weak vs its recent average and looks “too hot,” it shorts (BITI). If a short just got hit, it pivots to MSTR. If unclear, it falls back to the Nasdaq play. • The Nasdaq play buys 2x QQQ on dips, hedges if it’s overheated, or picks bonds/long/short based on recent S&P stress.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rules-based strategy blending crypto proxies, leveraged equities, and hedges. Out-of-sample annualized return ~25% vs S&P ~21.7%, offering higher upside. Trade-offs: larger drawdowns and mixed risk-adjusted results.

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.
