About

A rules-based, risk-on/risk-off approach that rides tech-led rallies with 3× ETFs, then quickly pivots to cash, Treasuries, defensives, or even shorts when markets look overheated or shaky, using trend, recent returns, and volatility cues. Very aggressive.
NutHow it works
A daily, rules-based “equity hedge.” It reads trend (price vs long-term average), recent gains/losses, and volatility. RSI is used as a speedometer of moves (high=hot, low=washed out). In calm uptrends it owns high‑octane stock funds (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO). When risk jumps, it shifts to cash-like T‑Bills (BIL/SHV), Treasuries (TLT/TMF), gold/staples/USD (GLD/XLP/UUP), or inverse funds (SQQQ/SOXS/SPXU).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 7.65% annualized return with 28.66% max drawdown and 0.42 Sharpe. A rules-based risk-on/risk-off approach that shifts between leveraged tech bets and cash/treasuries to diversify and help protect capital alongside the S&P 500.

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.
