About

A daily rules-based rotation across stock indexes/sectors, gold, and Treasuries. It hedges when markets look overheated, buys deep tech dips, and toggles emerging markets long/short using simple risk signals. Includes inverse/leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
A rules-based ETF mix that shifts daily using 3 gauges: 1) RSI, a hot/cold speedometer; 2) trend (price vs long averages); 3) recent % moves. - Overheated stocks: add small hedges (PSQ, SH) and cash-like SHV. - Sharp tech drops: buy the dip (XLK/QLD) only if very washed out. - Uptrends: own strong sectors or QQQ. - Selloffs: favor GLD and Treasuries (TLT/SHV). - A side sleeve flips EEM↔EUM via bond-vs-stock strength; another trades TLT momentum.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperforms the S&P on a risk-adjusted basis: OOS Sharpe 1.79 vs 1.03, annualized return ~29.9% vs ~17.9%, and max drawdown ~7.6% vs ~18.8%, thanks to defensive hedges (gold, Treasuries) and disciplined daily rotation.

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.
