About

A short-term, diversified mix of leveraged ETFs across tech, defense, utilities, international stocks, long-term Treasuries, gold, and bitcoin. 85% is sized by 2-day inverse volatility (calmer gets more). 15% sits in floating-rate Treasuries. High risk.
NutHow it works
- 15% stays in USFR (floating-rate U.S. Treasuries) as a stabilizer. - The other 85% is split among tech (TECL 3x), aerospace/defense (DFEN 3x), utilities (UTSL 3x), international stocks (VXUS), long-term U.S. Treasuries (TMF 3x), gold (UGL 2x), bitcoin (BITU 2x), and a fund mixing U.S. stocks with a trend-following futures sleeve (RSST). - Each day it looks at the last 2 days of “bounciness.” Calmer assets get more; jumpier get less. - Leverage magnifies moves; sizing aims to steady risk.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
