About

A trend filter steers between risk-on and defense: in uptrends it’s mostly 3× S&P 500 with quick flips into volatility on overheated signals, plus a staples sleeve; in downtrends it adds cash/Treasuries/gold and uses UVXY on spikes.
NutHow it works
Step 1: Is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average? - Uptrend: ~78% in a 3× S&P fund (UPRO). It briefly flips to a volatility fund (UVXY—often jumps when stocks drop) when a short‑term “hot/cold” score (RSI) is very high, and sometimes to 3× semis (SOXL). ~22% in Consumer Staples (XLP). - Downtrend: ~7% each in T‑Bills (BIL), long Treasuries (TLT) and Gold (GLD). The other ~78% goes to UVXY on spikes, briefly to 3× S&P on extreme selloffs, or else to Gold/T‑Bills/(and Treasuries if trending).
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic regime-switching strategy: mostly 3× S&P in uptrends, with hedges (UVXY, staples/gold) in drawdowns. OOS: ~34.5% annualized return vs SPY ~36.3%; drawdown ~29% vs 8.9%; Sharpe ~1.20 vs ~2.39. A diversification sleeve.

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.
