About

A static mix of leveraged U.S. stocks (SPXL, TQQQ), the U.S. dollar (UUP), and gold (GLD): 25%/15%/40%/20%. No signals or rebalancing. High upside and downside from 3x funds; dollar and gold aim to cushion macro shocks.
NutHow it works
It holds four funds at fixed targets: 25% SPXL (3x S&P 500, big U.S. companies), 15% TQQQ (3x tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100), 40% UUP (a bet on a stronger U.S. dollar), and 20% GLD (gold). There are no timing signals and no automatic rebalancing, so the mix drifts as markets move.
CheckmarkValue prop
High-upside macro-hedged fixed-weight mix. OOS return ~29% vs SPY ~17%; Sharpe ~1.20 vs ~0.95; Calmar ~1.15. Expect drawdowns ~25% vs ~19%, but UUP/GLD hedges cushion shocks and support 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.
