About

A daily, rule‑based switchboard that rides quick rebounds in 3x tech/semis, hedges overbought markets with inverse/volatility ETFs, and uses Treasury signals to decide risk‑on vs risk‑off. High risk, fast‑moving, tax‑complicated (K‑1s possible).
NutHow it works
Each day it picks the “playbook” that worked best recently. Then it checks backdrop: stocks trending up/down, interest rates rising/falling (via Treasury ETFs), and market stress. Rules buy fast movers (3x tech/semis) on dips and switch to hedges (inverse/UVXY) when stocks look “too hot.” Signals used: RSI (a speedometer of recent moves), short‑term momentum, and bond cues.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 28.07% annualized return vs SPY 23.38%, driven by regime-switching to capture tech/semis rebounds with adaptive hedges. Higher upside with robust risk controls; note OOS max drawdown can be ~61% in stressed markets.

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.
