About

A rule-based, high-octane strategy that flips between 3x tech/semis, volatility hedges (UVXY/inverse ETFs), and Treasuries/cash using “too hot/too cold” signals and bond-market checks to time offense, defense, or an airbag.
NutHow it works
Think of three gears: Offense, Defense, and Airbag. - Offense: When stocks look washed‑out and bonds aren’t flashing danger, it buys fast movers like 3x tech/semis (TECL, SOXL, TQQQ). - Defense: If conditions are messy, it parks in T‑bills/Treasuries/diversifiers. - Airbag: If markets look overheated or fear surges, it buys volatility (UVXY) or inverse ETFs. RSI is a speedometer: high = overheated; low = oversold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~80.6% vs SPY ~22.5%, Sharpe ~1.56 vs 1.41, Calmar ~2.28, alpha ~0.40. A risk-aware engine targeting bigger upside via diversification—note higher drawdown (~35% vs ~19%).

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.
