About

A rules-based ETF strategy with three modes: hedge via volatility when markets are overheated, buy leveraged tech after sharp selloffs, and otherwise hold a diversified core of U.S. stocks, international stocks, and gold.
NutHow it works
It watches a short‑term “strength score” on the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ). - If that score is very high (market looks overheated), it buys a volatility fund (VIXY) that tends to jump if stocks pull back. - If the score is very low (market looks washed‑out), it buys a 2x Tech fund (ROM) to play a rebound. - Otherwise, it sits in a core mix: about 10% gold (GLD), 45% U.S. stocks (VOO), 45% international stocks (IXUS). Some versions (not the current one) will move to T‑Bills when the S&P 500 is below trend.
CheckmarkValue prop
An active, rules-based rotation that hedges overheated markets with volatility assets, seizes rallies in tech on dips, and maintains a diversified core. It offers diversification from SPY and potential tail-risk control—though out-of-sample data show higher drawdowns.

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.
