About

A tactical blend: buy sharp Nasdaq dips with a 3x fund, otherwise run a fast risk‑switching core that balances Treasuries, tech, financials, gold, dollar, and a tiny volatility hedge, giving more weight to the steadier assets.
NutHow it works
It watches the Nasdaq‑100’s recent drop. If it fell >5% in a week, it “buys the dip” with a 3x Nasdaq fund—unless there’s already a big same‑day rebound, then it uses its core. The core flips between risk‑on (Treasuries + some tech/financials) and risk‑off (gold, dollar, Treasuries, tiny VIX) based on very recent slides. Positions are sized larger if they’ve been steadier.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~28.3% annualized return vs S&P 500 ~22.6%, with a Calmar ~0.90 and a diversified, volatility-weighted core plus Nasdaq-dip plays. Higher upside and risk controls; note drawdowns can be larger in stress.

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.
