About

Rules-based, daily strategy: ride strong equity trends with leveraged, tech‑heavy funds; flip into Treasuries, gold, dollar, staples or short/vol hedges when trends cool or rates rise. Positions are sized by volatility to seek growth with capped drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks: stock trend (SPY vs 200‑day average; an average = typical price), bond trend (TLT up/down), and “heat” (RSI = hot/cold meter). If stocks are strong it buys leveraged U.S. growth (TQQQ=3x Nasdaq; UPRO/SPXL=3x S&P; TECL/SOXL=3x tech/semis). If weak or rates rise it rotates to defense (GLD gold, UUP dollar, XLP staples, BTAL/DBMF) or hedges/shorts (UVXY/VXX, SQQQ). If rates fall it holds TMF (3x Treasuries); if rising, TMV. Position sizes shrink when volatility is high.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~30.6% annual return vs ~28% S&P; Calmar ~4.87; Sharpe ~2.24; beta ~0.87. Diversified, regime-driven growth leveraging uptrends with rate-shock hedges for resilient, higher risk-adjusted gains.

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.
