About

A fast ARK/tech trader that flips between leveraged long (TARK) and short (SARK) using simple hot/cold readings, then double‑checks with bond and dollar trends. When markets look stretched, it adds hedges (VIX, short Nasdaq) or brief bounce trades.
NutHow it works
Each day it decides whether to bet ARK‑style growth stocks will rise (TARK) or fall (SARK). It reads quick “heat” gauges (a hot/cold speedometer of recent moves). If tech looks too hot, it hedges with volatility or short‑Nasdaq funds; if washed‑out and bonds agree, it buys bull tech ETFs. A “voting booth” cross‑checks the call using bonds (cash vs longer Treasuries, credit) and the US dollar. A small 1‑day add‑on takes bounce trades after sharp drops.
CheckmarkValue prop
Aim for far higher upside: out-of-sample annualized return ~47% vs S&P’s ~21%, with active hedges (VIX, short Nasdaq) and macro checks to steer risk. Calmar ~1.38 signals solid risk-adjusted performance despite larger max drawdowns.

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.
