About

A fast, rules-based strategy that flips daily between 3x stock funds, cash/bonds, shorts, and commodity/inflation plays using a fear gauge, long‑term trend, and momentum ranks to chase strength and defend in panics.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks three things: fear, trend, and momentum. If fear spikes, it hedges/shorts. If stocks are above long-term trend, it buys the fastest movers (often 3x S&P/Nasdaq). If stocks weaken or staples lead, it parks in T‑bills/bonds or rotates into trending commodities/inflation plays. Then it equal‑weights picks.

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.
