About

A rules‑based, mostly market‑neutral strategy that rotates among energy/commodities, bonds, the U.S. dollar, and volatility using simple trend and “hot/cold” checks. When signals are weak, it parks in short‑term Treasuries; it can short SPY or buy volatility when needed.
NutHow it works
It splits your money across themes (energy/commodities, bonds, U.S. dollar, volatility). Each theme has simple rules: if price trends are healthy and not too “hot,” it buys; if trends are weak or too “hot,” it moves to safe short‑term Treasuries, or sometimes shorts stocks/buys volatility. Rebalanced daily. Key ideas in plain English: - Moving average: the average price over a set number of days. Above a long average = uptrend; below = downtrend. - RSI: a 0–100 gauge of how “hot” (overbought) or “cold” (oversold) recent moves are. Very high = stretched; very low = washed‑out. - It often “parks” in SHY/SHV (short‑term Treasuries) when signals aren’t strong. - It can short the S&P 500 (SH) or buy volatility (UVXY/VIXY) when markets look stretched. - It uses leveraged ETFs (like TMF, UCO, BOIL) sparingly to act on strong signals.

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.
