About

A tech‑first, switch‑fast system: ride QQQ/TQQQ uptrends, buy sharp dips, and flip into volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXM/SVXY) and safe havens (GLD, XLP, UUP, SHY/SHV, DBMF) when crash or bond/yield‑curve warnings appear. Uses a 25‑day trend and an RSI “heat” gauge.
NutHow it works
It rides tech uptrends but quickly defends in turmoil. It: • Holds QQQ/TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) when price trends up (above 25‑day average). • Buys dips when a “hot/cold” meter (RSI: 0–100) says QQQ is oversold. • If drops are fast or markets look “too hot,” it switches to volatility funds (UVXY/VIXM/SVXY) and a safe‑haven mix (GLD, XLP, UUP, SHY/SHV, DBMF). • Bond/yield‑curve signals tilt it toward defense.
CheckmarkValue prop
Tech-led growth with built-in hedges: out-of-sample annualized return ~39% vs ~24% for the S&P, aided by rapid shifts to volatility hedges and safe havens. Higher upside, but larger drawdowns can occur in downturns.

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.
