About

A daily, rules‑based “switchboard” that rides strong uptrends in 3x tech/semis/S&P, buys dips after panics (with a bond check), and hedges overheated or falling markets using volatility or inverse ETFs. Main tilts: US tech/semis; can rotate to Treasuries, energy, USD, or cash.
NutHow it works
Each day the strategy checks the market’s mood (stocks vs bonds/commodities, long‑term trend). If trend is healthy and not overheated, it buys the strongest 3x growth fund (often tech/semis/S&P). If too “hot,” it hedges with fear (UVXY) or inverse funds. If panic hits (very “cold”), it buys the dip—only if bonds confirm. When rates drive markets, it switches to 3x Treasury bull/bear. In stress, it parks in cash‑like bonds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based strategy chasing tech/semis, hedged with volatility and bonds, switching to defense as needed. OOS: 26.4% annualized vs SPY 23.4%; higher drawdowns but larger upside.

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.
