About

A tactical “safe haven vs. growth” switcher: hide in gold/inflation plays when stocks drop; hold USD+gold when rates jump; otherwise, put ~85% into the calmest 3x equity fund and keep ~15% cash. Built to cope with inflation and rising rates.
NutHow it works
It watches for trouble, then shifts fast: - If the stock market just dropped hard, move fully into one “safe haven”: gold (IAU), a gold royalty stock (FNV), or an inflation‑expectations fund (RINF)—whichever has been calmer lately. - If stocks seem okay but tech fell sharply, do the same. - If long‑term bonds are plunging (rates jumping), split between the U.S. dollar (UUP) and gold (IAU), favoring the steadier one. - Otherwise, put about 85% into one growth bet among 3x funds (TQQQ, UPRO, TECL, SOXL) that’s been the least bumpy lately, and keep ~15% in cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~40.6% annualized return vs SPY ~20%, driven by inflation/rate hedges (gold, USD, RINF) plus selective 3x growth in calm markets. Big upside with hedges; be mindful of ~62% drawdowns in crises.

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.
