About

A daily, high‑octane switcher that rotates between leveraged semis/tech, volatility (UVXY), bond trades (TMF/TMV), and inverse ETFs using simple hot/cold signals and bond/commodity cues. Chases bounces when oversold, hedges when overheated. Very aggressive.
NutHow it works
It watches a “hot/cold” meter (RSI) on the S&P 500. Too hot → buy fear (UVXY/VIXY). Too cold → buy fast-growth funds (SOXL/TECL/TQQQ) if bonds agree; otherwise short them (SOXS/SQQQ). Bond trends (TLT/SPTL, BIL vs IEF) flag rising vs falling rates to pick TMF/TMV and tilt risk. It favors semis/tech when they lead, sometimes buying recent laggards for quick rebounds. If commodities lead or volatility jumps, it goes defensive. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return: ~50.7% vs SPY ~21.5%, alpha ~0.36, Calmar ~0.98—indicating strong upside with risk discipline. Expect higher volatility and potential drawdowns >50%; suited for growth-seekers chasing tech leadership beyond SPY.

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.
