About

Daily, rules-based mix: ~40% growth sleeve and ~60% monthly-dividend sleeve. Buys 3x tech/market funds on dips, parks in T‑bills when neutral, and hedges or shorts when fear spikes. Very high risk; big tech/semis/dividend value exposure.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads market “heat” (RSI: 0=cold, 100=hot) and volatility (VIX). Calm/weak: buy TQQQ/SPXL/SOXL (3x Nasdaq/S&P/semis). Too hot: briefly buy UVXY (volatility hedge). Scary: use cash-like BIL/BSV or SQQQ/SPXU (shorts). ~60% also rotates into dividend ETFs (SPHD/PEY/DHS) in calm periods. High risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~47.5% annualized return vs ~19.4% for SPY, with Sharpe ≈1.00 and Calmar ≈1.52. Uses volatility timing and hedges to capture big upside while moderating risk—stronger long-term potential than the S&P 500 (but higher drawdowns).

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.
