About

Two‑sleeve tactical system: 80% hunts the strongest sector or switches between TQQQ/QQQ/Treasuries/short QQQ based on trend, volatility and dip size; 20% trades “fear” (SVXY/BIL/VIXY). Very aggressive—uses leveraged funds and fast regime switches.
NutHow it works
- 80% Equity sleeve: If a short‑term “hot/cold” meter (RSI) says stocks look overheated, it briefly hedges with a fear ETF (VIXY). Otherwise it either rotates into the strongest U.S. sector (sometimes a leveraged fund) or uses a QQQ trend check: calm uptrend=TQQQ (3x), choppy uptrend=QQQ, downtrend=Treasuries or short QQQ. It also buys big dips. - 20% Volatility sleeve: When fear is fading it shorts volatility (SVXY); when fear is rising it parks in T‑Bills (BIL), sometimes briefly going long volatility (VIXY). Signals use trend (moving averages) and choppiness (standard deviation).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample shows strong upside: ~57% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.32, Calmar ~2.08, vs S&P 500 ~17% return and Sharpe ~0.96. Drawdowns higher (~27% vs ~19%), but risk-adjusted upside remains superior.

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.
