About

Rules-based 60/40: 60% chases tech strength with 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) but moves to cash or hedges when overheated; 40% rides or shorts long Treasuries (TMF/TMV) and, when unclear, holds defensive hedges. Uses RSI/MA signals; drift-only rebalancing.
NutHow it works
60/40. 60% rides US tech with 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) when the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average; if tech looks overheated or weak, it moves to T‑Bills (BIL) or hedges with SQQQ/SOXS. 40% follows long Treasuries (TLT): buys 3x bonds (TMF) in uptrends or when oversold, shorts (TMV) if overbought; otherwise holds USD (USDU), stock hedges (PSQ/SH), and defensive funds (BTAL/XLP). RSI = short‑term heat gauge; MA = average price. Rebalance only if weights drift ~9%.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic 60/40 strategy captures tech rallies and allocates to bonds with hedges, delivering ~38.5% annualized return out-of-sample vs 21.7% for the S&P, Calmar ~1.39 (risk-adjusted). Higher drawdowns exist but upsides are compelling.

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.
