About

A fast, all-in tactical strategy. It buys beaten-up 3x tech/semis on dips, fades overheated markets with VIX funds, and uses bond/commodity cues to flip into inverse or rate trades. Heavy semiconductor focus; very high risk.
NutHow it works
Daily, it triages the market. If stocks look very “stretched up,” it buys volatility (UVXY/VIXY) to fade it. If they look washed out and bonds support risk, it buys 3x tech/semis (e.g., SOXL/TQQQ/TECL), usually the recent laggard for a bounce. If macro turns hostile (rates/commodities), it flips to inverse funds (SQQQ/SOXS) or rate trades (TMF/TMV).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets big tech upside: ~50.6% annualized return vs ~21.3% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.03. Levered exposure means higher risk—expect drawdowns near 49%, but strong rally potential.

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.
