About

A daily, rule‑based rotation using leveraged ETFs. It flips Risk ON/OFF using bond trends, buys the most “beaten‑down” growth funds when calm, and when stress or rising rates hit, shifts to Treasuries, the U.S. dollar, gold, and other defensive hedges.
NutHow it works
Goal: catch big rallies with 3x stock funds, cut risk fast. Regime: If a broad bond fund (BND) was up over ~8 weeks → Risk ON; else Risk OFF. Risk ON: If the “fear gauge” (UVXY) is calm, buy the 4 most beaten‑down picks from a tech/growth menu. RSI is a heat meter: low = beaten‑down. If fear is high, switch to long or short long‑term Treasuries (TMF/TMV). Risk OFF: If rates are rising (TLT weak), hold the U.S. dollar plus either short tech or short long‑bonds. If rates are falling (TLT firm), hold Treasuries, gold, and defensive stock funds. Daily rebalance.

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.
