About

Rides uptrends with 2x Nasdaq, steps aside when markets look overheated (into volatility or Treasuries), and in downtrends either buys short rebounds with 2x longs or hedges with Treasuries or 2x inverse Nasdaq. Daily, rules-based switches.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks trend with moving averages: if the S&P 500’s 50‑day price is above its 200‑day, it’s an uptrend; otherwise downtrend. RSI (a 0–100 “heat” score of recent moves): high=overheated, low=washed‑out. Uptrend: hold 2x Nasdaq (QLD), unless RSI is very high → hedge with volatility (UVXY) or shift to Treasuries (IEF). Downtrend: buy sharp dips with 2x Tech (ROM) or 2x S&P (SSO); if no dip, own Treasuries or 2x short Nasdaq (QID), whichever is stronger.
CheckmarkValue prop
Stronger upside with risk control: out-of-sample annualized return 26.8% vs S&P 17.8%, driven by regime-switching and 2x Nasdaq in uptrends with hedges in volatility or dips. Higher drawdowns may occur, but rallies are captured.

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.
