About

A rules-based, daily strategy that shifts among leveraged stock funds, bond/safe-haven hedges, and volatility trades. It follows the trend, buys big dips, hedges when markets overheat, and cuts risk after sharp drops. Very aggressive and active.
NutHow it works
It flips between “risk-on” and “risk-off” using the S&P 500 vs its long-term average. A 0–100 “speedometer” (RSI) flags overheated (hedge) or washed-out (buy-the-dip) conditions. Big 1–5 day drops trigger fast de-risking to cash/hedges. Risk-on: TQQQ/UPRO/NAIL. Risk-off: SQQQ/SPXU, bonds (TMF/TLT), cash (BIL). A volatility sleeve flips SVIX (calm) vs UVIX/VIXY/VIXM (spikes). Hedges include BTAL, gold (GLD), and the US dollar (UUP). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, multi-sleeve strategy with regime switching, hedges, and volatility control. Out-of-sample return lags SPY (16.3% vs 22.7%), but it carries a lower beta (~0.85) and built-in risk controls, offering diversification and capital protection as a SPY complement.

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.
