About

4-asset, fixed-weight allocation: 25% SPXL, 15% TQQQ, 40% UUP, 20% GLD; no automatic rebalancing; 21-day window; levered equity exposure with dollar and gold hedges; high volatility risk from leverage.
NutHow it works
You allocate 100% of your capital across four funds: 25% SPXL (3x S&P 500), 15% TQQQ (3x Nasdaq-100), 40% UUP (US dollar index), and 20% GLD (gold). The plan uses a 21-day look-back window for potential signals, but it does not automatically rebalance. The 1% corridor is a threshold that would normally trigger rebalancing, but with rebalance set to none, you hold these weights unless you change the plan. In plain terms, you’re betting on rising US stocks (with leverage), while also betting on a stronger dollar and gold as hedges. Leveraged ETFs magnify daily moves, so returns can be volatile even if the long-term trend matches equity gains.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~29% vs S&P 500 ~17%; Sharpe ~1.20 vs ~0.95; Calmar ~1.15. Fixed 4-asset mix with levered equities and USD/gold hedges targets higher upside with hedges, but accepts larger drawdowns than SPY.

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.
