About

Rules-based “gas pedal vs guardrails”: buy dips in 3x stock ETFs when stocks lead and bonds are weak; otherwise sit in a safety sleeve (volatility/anti‑beta) or rotate to Treasuries/US dollar. Very aggressive; tightly rule‑driven.
NutHow it works
It flips between “risk‑on” and “safety.” RSI (a 0–100 hot/cold score of recent moves) and trends drive it. If stocks beat Utilities and long‑Treasuries are weak, it buys dips in 3x stock funds (TECL=tech, TQQQ=Nasdaq, SPXL/UPRO=S&P, UDOW=Dow). If no dip, it parks in a safety mix: SVXY (calm markets), VIXM (fear), BTAL (hedge). If Treasuries trend up, it prefers TMF (3x Treasuries) or UUP (US dollar).
CheckmarkValue prop
Unleash higher upside versus the S&P with a rules-based buy-the-dip strategy using 3x ETFs and dynamic hedging. Out-of-sample returns target ~38% annualized vs ~22% for the S&P; expect higher drawdowns in downturns, so fits higher risk tolerance.

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.
