About

An aggressive rules‑driven timer: buys beaten‑down tech in uptrends, hides in cash/bonds or shorts when trends weaken, and sometimes bets on volatility. Heavy use of leveraged/inverse ETFs—expect big swings and quick shifts.
NutHow it works
Check S&P 500 vs its 200‑day avg: uptrend or downtrend. RSI (a 0–100 “hot/cold” score) guides entries. Uptrend: buy dips in tech/Nasdaq (3x bulls TQQQ/SOXL/TECL). If overheated, briefly hedge (UVXY or 3x bears SQQQ/SPXU). Downtrend: prefer cash‑like Treasuries (SHY/SHV/BIL) or bonds (IEF/TLT/STIP); only nibble on deep dips; sometimes go inverse. Extra rules react to sudden moves; may choose USD (UUP/UDN) or gold (UGL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~30% annualized return vs SPY ~17.8%, by riding tech rallies with adaptive hedges. Expect higher swings and bigger drawdowns in downturns, but much stronger upside in bull regimes and regime-aware 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.
