About

Crash‑aware, rates‑driven HFEA that avoids K‑1s. Buys leveraged growth/long bonds when conditions are friendly, shifts to USD or inverse hedges when rates rise, and parks in short‑term Treasuries during crashes or sharp drops.
NutHow it works
Goal: a safer, event‑driven HFEA (no K‑1s). It flips on 3 checks: 1) Crash? If the “fear” ETF VIXM is very hot (RSI>69; RSI = 0–100 hot/cold score), hold SHY (short‑term Treasuries). 2) Else if bonds beat cash (BND>BIL, 60d), put ~2/3 into 3 oversold leveraged funds (from TECL tech, SOXL semis, FAS financials, TQQQ Nasdaq, UPRO S&P, TMF long Treasuries); rest stays cash‑like. 3) Else if long Treasuries are weak (TLT<BIL, 20d), split USDU (US dollar) and a hedge (SQQQ short Nasdaq or TBF short long Treasuries). Otherwise (falling rates), run 55% UPRO/45% TMF—unless SPY dropped >5% in ~10d; then hold BIL (T‑bills) ~1 month.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this crash-aware, rates-driven strategy targets ~32% annual returns vs ~22% for the S&P 500, with crash protection and rate-regime switches. Higher upside comes with higher drawdown risk—best suited for risk-tolerant investors.

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.
