About

A rules‑based, risk‑managed approach that uses leveraged ETFs to beat the S&P 500 while capping big losses. It rotates among 2–3x tech/S&P funds, inverse ETFs, Treasuries, the dollar, volatility, and oil based on trend, recent drops, and overbought/oversold signals.
NutHow it works
Split into 4 sleeves: 30% S&P on/off, 30% buy‑the‑dip tech/Nasdaq, 35% volatility/dollar/short‑term bonds, 5% oil. It reads a few signals: trend (210 vs 360‑day averages), recent falls from peaks (drawdown), 1–21 day % moves, and RSI (a heat meter: low=washed‑out, high=hot). In uptrends it holds 2–3x S&P/tech (UPRO/SPXL, TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). On drops or when things look overheated, it shifts to hedges: inverse ETFs (SQQQ, SPXS/SH), long Treasuries (TMF/TLT), U.S. dollar (UUP), and volatility (UVXY/VIXM).
CheckmarkValue prop
Risk-managed, rules-based LETF strategy to diversify and ride uptrends while hedging downturns. OOS: annualized ~18.3% vs SPY 22.5%, Calmar ~0.68; multi-asset sleeves aim for steadier, more resilient growth.

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.
