About

A daily, tactical “go-fast or hit the brakes” system. It rotates among leveraged tech/semis, inverse ETFs, long/short Treasuries, and volatility (UVXY) using simple signals (overbought/oversold, trends, bond checks) to ride strength or hedge pullbacks.
NutHow it works
Every day it checks: 1) Are stocks hot or washed out? 2) What is the bond market saying about risk and interest rates? 3) Are stocks or commodities leading? It then picks one ETF (often leveraged) from a small list to ride strength, bet on a quick reversal, or hedge with volatility (UVXY). Big trends use tech/semis; rising vs falling rates switch TMV vs TMF.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample potential: ~50% annualized return vs SPY ~21%, aided by volatility hedges and macro bets. Big upside in trends, but larger drawdowns (~49% vs ~19%). Suitable for risk-tolerant investors seeking aggressive growth.

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.
