About

A safety‑first, risk‑on/risk‑off plan: flee to gold/US‑dollar/inflation hedges when stocks or bonds look stressed; when calm, ride one high‑octane tech/semiconductor ETF. Uses leveraged funds, so swings can be big.
NutHow it works
It watches three stress checks: big short‑term drops in US stocks (SPY, QQQ) and falls in long‑term bonds (TLT). If stocks drop, it hides in one pick from gold (IAU), a gold miner (FNV), or inflation expectations (RINF). If stocks are fine but bonds wobble, it splits between the US dollar (UUP) and gold. If both look calm, it goes risk‑on, putting most money in a single aggressive tech/semis fund (TQQQ, UPRO, TECL, or SOXL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~37% annual return vs ~20% for the S&P, built on stress hedges (gold/USD) and leveraged tech in calm markets. Higher upside, but larger drawdown risk.

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.
