About

A fast, daily strategy that flips between cash/hedges and 3x bull/bear ETFs using fear (VIX), bond‑vs‑stock strength, and short‑term momentum/RSI. Focused on tech, small‑caps, biotech, gold miners. Very high risk; for active traders only.
NutHow it works
Daily playbook: 1) Fear check: if VIX is hot (RSI of VIXM > 65), go defensive—T‑Bills (BIL), volatility funds (VIXY/UVXY), or BTAL; on big dips it may buy TQQQ (3x Nasdaq). RSI = 0–100 “speedometer” of recent gains/losses. 2) Else set risk‑on/off by bonds vs small‑caps (IEF vs IWM) and long‑bond trend (TMF). 3) Risk‑on: ride fast sectors with 3x bulls; risk‑off: use inverse bears or cash. 4) Pick 1–3 fastest; keep two. Rebalance daily.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
