About

A tactical, 4‑bucket strategy that flips between Risk‑On and Risk‑Off using trend, dip‑buy, and volatility signals. It rotates into 3× equity funds (TQQQ/UPRO) in uptrends and shifts to cash, bonds, gold, or commodities when risk rises. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
4 buckets flip between Risk‑On and Risk‑Off: - Trend: if ~100‑day avg price > ~400‑day, favor stocks; else bonds/international. - Dip buys: after a 4–5 day drop in QQQ/SPY, buy TQQQ/UPRO unless it just spiked. - Volatility alarm: RSI (0–100 heat gauge; high=stressed) on VIXM sends us to hedges (SPXU/UVXY). Risk‑On: pick recent winners; if commodities lead, use DBC/gold/energy; otherwise cash/T‑Bills (BIL/SHV). SPY=S&P 500, QQQ=Nasdaq‑100, TQQQ/UPRO=3×.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.66 vs SPY 0.99; Calmar 2.62; annualized return ~111% vs ~19%. Regime-driven mix of leveraged equities, hedges, and bonds aims to beat the S&P on a risk-adjusted basis—higher upside, with larger drawdowns in stress periods.

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.
