About

Daily, trend- and risk-based switch between 3x long or 3x short biotech using biotech, market, volatility, and bond signals. Kill switch avoids buying dips in macro selloffs. May park in Treasuries or volatility. LABD profits donated.
NutHow it works
Each day it aims to profit from big swings in biotech. It flips between a 3x bullish biotech ETF (LABU) and a 3x bearish one (LABD). It reads biotech trend (XBI), the broad market (SPY/QQQ), volatility (UVXY/UVIX), and long Treasury ETFs (TLT/TMF/TMV). If biotech is falling and moving with the whole market, a “kill switch” blocks LABU and it holds LABD or Treasuries instead. All LABD profits are donated to rare‑disease research.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample alpha, low market beta, and tight drawdowns. This biotech-timing strategy uses daily regime switching and risk guards to outperform the S&P 500, while providing diversification and LABD profits donated to rare-disease research.

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.
