About

A weekly, high‑octane mix of leveraged tech/semis, S&P 500, bonds, volatility, dollar and yen trades. Uses a fear gauge and bond trends to toggle risk, then blends recent winners with some oversold bets. Very aggressive and fast‑moving.
NutHow it works
It trades weekly and splits your money between two rule-sets. 1) Love SOXL: If “rates rising” looks stronger than tech strength, that half goes to TBF (profits when long Treasuries fall). Otherwise it holds two picks: the best recent performer from SOXL (3x semis)/TECL (3x tech)/TMF (3x long Treasuries), plus the most “cool” (low RSI) from SOXL/TECL/STIP (short‑term inflation‑linked Treasuries). 2) SVXY Jedi: If fear (VIX futures) runs hot, it goes defensive: UUP (US dollar) + SHY (1–3y Treasuries). Else, if bonds look healthy, it goes risk‑on: UPRO (3x S&P 500) + the past‑week winner among TECL/UPRO/TBX (short Treasuries)/SVXY (short vol). If not, it buys two beaten‑down picks from TECL vs BTAL (defensive) and from DIG (energy)/VIXM (VIX futures)/YCS (short yen)/PST (2x short Treasuries). RSI = a simple “heat” gauge of recent moves (low=cool, high=hot). Moving‑average return vs cumulative return = recent average gain vs total gain.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.71 vs SPY 1.28; annualized return ~75% vs 21%; Calmar 2.29. A weekly-diversified rotation across tech/bonds/volatility/FX with built-in risk controls—aiming higher growth than the S&P 500.

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.
