About

Daily trend-following: if SPY is above its 100‑day average, hold small‑cap value, 3x Nasdaq‑100, 3x long Treasuries, and gold; otherwise hold 50/50 gold and long Treasuries. Rebalances daily; leveraged ETFs mean big swings.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 100‑day average price (the average of the last 100 trading days). If above: hold AVUV 10% (US small, cheaper stocks), TQQQ 23.34% (3x Nasdaq‑100, very volatile), TMF 33.33% (3x long US Treasuries), GLD 33.33% (gold). If not: hold 50% GLD and 50% TLT (long US Treasuries, not leveraged). Rebalances daily. Aim: aggressive in uptrends, defensive in downtrends.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this trend-following strategy targets higher upside with hedges. ~35% annualized return vs ~31% SPY, Calmar ~2.6, gold/Treasuries protection—participate in uptrends, defend in downturns.

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.
