About

A daily, tech-only strategy that flips between XLK (long tech) and REW (-2x inverse tech) using trend filters and an RSI “heat” check. Stronger trends tolerate higher RSI; weaker trends demand lower RSI or it shorts via REW.
NutHow it works
It trades one thing: U.S. tech—either XLK (owns big tech like Apple/Microsoft/Nvidia) or REW (a -2x fund that goes up when tech falls). It labels trend strength with moving averages (20/50/100/200 days). In stronger uptrends it holds XLK unless the “heat” gauge (RSI, 0–100) is very high (~75+); in weaker trends it requires lower RSI (~60 or ~40) or it switches to REW. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Tech-only tactical strategy cycling XLK/REW with trend/RSI filters. OOS return 16.79% vs S&P 16.40%; higher market sensitivity and larger drawdowns, but aims for tech-led upside with a built-in momentum hedge and daily rebalancing.

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.
