About

Daily, rules-based plan: ride uptrends with 3× equity funds, hide in T‑Bills/bonds when weak, buy only sharp dips, and use VIX funds as crash insurance. Uses a 200‑day average, RSI, and Treasury trends to switch gears.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks trend and fear. If the Nasdaq-100 is above its 200‑day average, it rides the uptrend with a 3× tech fund; if things get too “hot,” it briefly holds a VIX fund as crash insurance. If the trend is weak, it mostly parks in T‑Bills/bonds, may buy sharp dips in 3× funds, and runs a Treasury trend trade (long or short). A “black swan” sleeve adds VIX exposure when fear jumps.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample this strategy targets higher upside vs the S&P (≈78% annualized vs 21%), with solid risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe ≈1.35, Calmar ≈1.73). It rides trends and hedges crashes, but may endure larger drawdowns in crises.

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.
