About

Rules-based “Bulls, Bears, and Bonds” system that shifts among 3× stock ETFs, inverse/volatility hedges, and Treasuries using trend, hot/cold readings (RSI), recent moves, and volatility—plus cash‑first safety switches to avoid chasing and limit damage.
NutHow it works
Think of it as a traffic light for markets. It watches: (1) trend (above/below long‑term average), (2) heat (RSI, a 0–100 “hot/cold” score), (3) recent jumps/drops, and (4) volatility. If risk looks good, it owns aggressive 3× stock funds (tech/semis/S&P). If risk looks bad, it flips to inverse/volatility hedges or parks in T‑Bills/defensive mix. If bonds lead, it rotates into long or short Treasuries. Circuit breakers force cash after big spikes. RSI note: low=cold (potential dip), high=hot (avoid/chill).
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic Bulls/Bears/Bonds strategy offers a smoother, risk-adjusted path vs SPY. With a ~0.74 market beta and hedges/bonds, it aims to protect capital during volatility. OOS: Sharpe ~0.92, Calmar ~0.78, max draw ~19.9% across ~699 days.

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.
