About

Daily, tactical mix aiming to ride uptrends in Bitcoin and biotech/tech while hedging with Treasuries, gold, and commodities. Uses simple trend and overbought/oversold signals; shifts to T‑bills or hedges in stress. Uses leveraged ETFs, so volatility is high.
NutHow it works
Daily it chases strength in Bitcoin (GBTC) and biotech/tech (LABU, TQQQ, plus big tech like AAPL/MSFT/NVDA) ~60%, and hedges ~40% with bonds (TMF/TMV), gold (GLD), and commodities (DBC/DBO/XME, FCG/KOLD). Signals: price vs average (trend) and RSI (0–100 speed; low=washed out, high=stretched). If weak, it parks in T‑bills (SHV/BIL) or uses inverse/volatility (SQQQ/UVXY). Picks the better of two variants by recent return.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~19.16% annualized return vs S&P 19.00%, lower beta (~0.97) and built-in hedges (bonds, gold, commodities) to dampen drawdowns. Diversified growth with tested resilience across 612 trading 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.
