About

A rules-based, rate-aware risk-on/risk-off strategy: hide in short Treasuries during panics, defend when rates rise (USD + hedges), and run a refined HFEA mix (3x S&P 500 + 3x long Treasuries) when rates fall, with extra crash safeguards.
NutHow it works
Rules-based switch: • Panic high (volatility index jumps) → short‑term Treasuries. • Use bonds vs T‑bills to read rates: – Bonds leading → risk‑on: rotate among leveraged stock and long‑Treasury funds, buying the most beaten‑down picks (RSI = short‑term “hot/cold” meter). – Rates rising → risk‑off: hold USD plus a hedge against either stocks or long bonds. – Long rates falling → run HFEA (≈55% 3x S&P 500, 45% 3x long Treasuries); crash signal → T‑bills.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~19% annualized return with rate-aware hedges and crash protections that diversify beyond the S&P 500, aiming to reduce tail risk in volatile regimes and avoid K‑1s. A regime-driven path to steadier long-term results.

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.
