About

A daily, rules‑based switcher that hedges when stocks look overheated, buys dips when they look washed out, and otherwise rotates among 3× US stock indexes, commodities, EM bull/bear, and bond funds based on trends, volatility spikes, and bonds‑vs‑cash signals.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a few simple cues. If the stock market looks overheated (RSI = a “how stretched is it?” gauge), it hedges with a volatility fund and T‑Bills. If markets look washed out, it buys the dip using 3× index funds. If fear surges, it parks in T‑Bills. Otherwise, if bonds beat cash it goes risk‑on in 3× stock indexes; if not, it rotates into the strongest commodities and an EM bull/bear choice. A separate sleeve rotates among bond ETFs (incl. 3× long/short) based on trend.

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.
