About

A one‑ETF, high‑octane, risk‑on/risk‑off strategy. Extreme dip? Buy leveraged tech. Tech too hot? Hold VIX. Otherwise rotate: tech/energy in bull markets; bonds/gold or inverse hedges in bear regimes, guided by simple trend gauges.
NutHow it works
Uses simple gauges (RSI: 0–100 heat meter; EMA: long‑term trendline) on SPY (stocks), XLK (tech), XLU (utilities), DBC (commodities), and TLT (Treasuries). If stocks are very oversold, buy TECL. If tech is extremely hot, buy UVXY. Otherwise: if stocks beat utilities, go bull (TECL or ERX). If utilities beat stocks, go bear: if Treasuries trend up, pick TMF or UGL; if down, pick TMV, BTAL, or TECS. Holds one fund.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic risk-on/risk-off strategy using leveraged tech and volatility hedges. Seeks tech-led upside in bull phases and protection in bear phases, but with higher drawdowns and slightly lower risk-adjusted returns than the S&P in out-of-sample tests.

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.
