About

A simple trend switch: when SPY is above its 200‑day average, hold a mix of tech (TQQQ), small‑cap value (AVUV), gold (GLD) and long Treasuries (TMF). Otherwise move to 50/50 gold and long Treasuries (TLT). Uses leverage; expect big ups and downs.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if the S&P 500 fund (SPY) is above its 200‑day average (a long‑term trend line). If yes: 10% AVUV (U.S. small‑cap value stocks), 23.34% TQQQ (3× Nasdaq‑100 tech), 33.33% TMF (3× long U.S. Treasuries), 33.33% GLD (gold). If not: 50% GLD and 50% TLT (long U.S. Treasuries). Rebalanced daily. Leveraged funds can swing sharply.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return: 55.36% vs S&P 36.21%, Calmar 6.82—strong risk-adjusted growth. Leveraged, trend-following mix (tech, small value, gold, Treasuries) targets bigger upside with diversification, though bear-market drawdowns can be higher.

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.
