About

A daily “pop bot” that checks if tech leads the market, uses a fast tech fund as a heat gauge, then fades hot pops with fear/bearish funds or buys oversold rebounds. When signals disagree, it sits in T‑bill cash.
NutHow it works
Daily steps: 1) Regime check: Is tech (XLK) stronger than defensive staples (XLP)? If yes, it’s “risk‑on”; otherwise “danger.” 2) Heat check: Uses a fast tech fund (TQQQ) as a speedometer. When it’s too hot (big pop/very strong), it buys “fear” funds that rise when stress jumps (UVXY/TECS). When it’s washed‑out, it buys fast‑rebound plays (TECL/SOXL/TMF). If fear is calming, it may bet against fear (SVXY). If signals clash, it parks in T‑bill cash (BIL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-driven, volatility-aware strategy: lower downside and solid risk-adjusted returns vs S&P. OOS: drawdown 16.4% vs 18.8%; Calmar ~1.29; Sharpe ~1.23; beta ~0.08; positive OOS alpha and diversification.

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.
