About

Daily “pop bot” that first checks if tech is leading staples. It uses TQQQ’s heat (RSI) and outsized 1-day pops to fade strength with volatility/short-tech, buy oversold tech/long bonds, or sit in T-Bills—shifting safer when the regime looks risky.
NutHow it works
It asks: is tech (XLK) beating staples (XLP)? If yes, risk-on; if not, danger mode. It uses TQQQ (a triple-speed Nasdaq fund), an RSI heat score (0–100), and any 1-day jump >5.5% to spot extremes. After big pops it leans into fear or short-tech (UVXY/VIXM or TECS). When washed-out it buys beaten-down tech/semis or long bonds (TECL/SOXL/TMF). Otherwise it parks in T-Bills (BIL). In danger mode it favors short-vol (SVXY) and bonds, with more cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Nearly the same upside as the S&P (≈21% vs 22%), but with lower drawdowns (≈16.4% vs 18.8%) and stronger risk control (Calmar ≈1.29). Daily regime switching plus volatility hedges deliver steadier, more resilient 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.
