About

Risk‑on only when the market trend is up. In hot markets it buys tech on brief dips (TQQQ) but uses hedges (TZA, UVXY) if prices look stretched. Otherwise holds SPY; below trend it sits in T‑Bills (BIL).
NutHow it works
First, if SPY (S&P 500) is above its 200‑day average (long‑term trend), the strategy takes risk; otherwise it parks in BIL (T‑Bills). When risk‑on and SPY’s 60‑day RSI (a gauge of recent gains vs losses) is above 60, it buys TQQQ (3× Nasdaq) if QQQ’s 5‑day average is below its 10‑day (a dip). If not, it holds TZA (3× short small‑caps) and UVXY (VIX) as pullback hedges. If RSI isn’t above 60, it holds SPY. Leveraged funds can swing and lose quickly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~19.14% return vs SPY's ~18.01%, with lower beta (~0.32) and Calmar ~0.62. Higher drawdowns (~31%) exist, but hedges and trend filters aim to protect in downturns and boost upside in hot markets.

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.
